Dar Bach Hamba

Dar Bach Hamba has witnessed many modifications in its architecture through the decades that made it one of the richest palaces in the medina.

In 1789, Haj Ahmed Bach Hamba bought it in the reign of Hammuda ibn Ali and gave it its name.

[1] Until 2015, Dar Bach Hamba was the office of the Orestiadi Foundation and the venue for a permanent exhibition of costumes, stuccos and terracottas from all Mediterranean countries.

The idea of this exposition was inspired from the model at the Museo delle Trame Mediterranee, and its goal was to show the commonality in Mediterranean cultures and communities.

Since July 2015, the palace hosts the L'Art Rue association that develops artistic projects promoting local heritage.
