The green door - Dar El Barbouchi (18th century) - Sidi Bou Saïd

This stamp illustrates the elegance of the village of Sidi Bou Saïd through one of its emblematic doors. Painted green, a highly symbolic color in Arab-Muslim culture, it is decorated with complex patterns made with black nails, representing cypresses and protective symbols. The presence of a figure draped in a white “safsari” crossing the gate underlines domestic intimacy and the preservation of city customs. This show celebrates the unique aesthetic of Tunisian Mediterranean architecture, where wrought iron and nailing transform a simple entryway into an artistic masterpiece.
