Description
This stamp highlights the unique architectural heritage of Sidi Bou Saïd, a picturesque village overlooking the Gulf of Tunis, famous for its studded doors and its bright white facades contrasting with the azure blue of the woodwork. Beyond its aesthetic beauty, this door symbolizes the opening of Tunisia to the Mediterranean and the preservation of an ancestral art of living which combines Andalusian and Ottoman influences. By devoting this program to this emblematic site, the Republic underlines the importance of cultural tourism and the safeguarding of the national visual identity, making this village a global ambassador of Tunisian charm and serenity.
