Dar Zarrouk

Dar Zarrouk is one of the palaces of the old town of Tunis.

The palace was constructed by a privateer and Dey Murad during the seventeenth century,[1] and it was modified by the Zarrouk family during the eighteenth century.

It is composed mainly of a ground floor, the new owners added another house for their guests and a room to rest on the terraces.

We can also find other outbuildings in the palace, such as a Grain Mill, a space to pray, and an inner garden.

[2] Mohamed Zarrouk, son of the minister Mohamed Larbi Zarrouk built three more apartments during the nineteenth century.
