Central courtyard


Central courtyard

The Bardo Museum, originally a 13th century Hafsid palace, has an internationally renowned collection of Roman mosaics. Yet, although I did study classical art as part of my art history degree, I now much prefer to look at the museums themselves (my postgraduate studies were actually in art curatorship & museum management). This islamic-style courtyard is at the heart of this stunningly beautiful former palace.
