Description
This stamp highlights the Essaïd Palace (Ksar Saïd), a high place in Beylical history located in Bardo. The interior illustration reveals the refined architecture of the palace, mixing Arab-Andalusian styles and Italian influences, with its elegant arcades and richly decorated ceilings. By immortalizing this monument, the Tunisian post celebrates a crucial site of the country's sovereign memory, because it is within these walls that the Treaty of Bardo was signed in 1881. The message conveyed is that of the preservation of an exceptional heritage, today reconverted into a national center of culture and arts.
