This stamp illustrates the modern and majestic facade of the Municipal Palace of Tunis, located on the Place de la Kasbah. Inaugurated at the end of the 1990s, its architecture combines contemporary lines and traditional ornamental motifs (horseshoe arches, claustras).

Located in the heart of the political center of the country, this building symbolizes the modernity of municipal administration and the continuity of the function of the Kasbah as a place of power in Tunis since the Hafsid era.
