Dar al-Taj Palace

Dar al-Taj Palace was a palace of the Tunisian Beys, in La Marsa, Tunisia. It is 18 kilometers northeast from Tunis. The palace was constructed as a summer palace and retreat from the capital. It was destroyed in the years after the Tunisian independence. Nothing remains now, except for postcards that serve as reminders of the past glory of the Dar al-Taj.

The palace sometimes is also named Qsar al-Taj or Ksar Tej. The name literally means "House of the Crown".
