The home of Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, who was responsible for the blue and white color scheme of the town.

Le Palais du Baron D'Erlanger is an absolute gem and worth visiting. The outside architecture is simple and clean, with the emblematic white and blue color scheme of Sidi Bou Said, while the interior is beautifully luxuriant. The eye-catching plasterwork and amazing views over the sea is a heath taking mix. The views are among the best ever.

We spent an entire day walking around in Sidi Bou Said. There are vendors and boutiques everywhere. When we got hungry or thirsty we would stop in a restaurant which all had amazing views. The quality of food and service was good, but very different then anything I had ever eaten.

What is today the Centre of Arab and Mediterranean Music was till some 30 years ago the palatial residence of a wealthy French family. The palace was built by Baron D'Erlanger in the outskirts of Sidi Bou Said, as a luxurious Andalusian home facing the sea and the plains around Tunis. Whether you are interested in music and instruments or not, the place deserves a visit for the affluence and the refinement of it interior, that draws inspiration from the Alhambra Palace in Granada - an Arabic dream of high class.The gardens that surround the Palace are rich in flowers and trees and enjoy a beautiful view.
