Dar Lasram is a grand 19th-century mansion on Rue du Tribunal that now houses the Association de Sauvegarde de la Medina de Tunis, the organisation that has worked since 1967 to protect the old city's historic houses and monuments.
Inside, tiled courtyards and reception rooms hold a small exhibition on the Medina's restoration work, a rare chance to understand the conservation effort behind the neighbourhood you've been wandering through rather than just its finished results.
Local tip: It's quieter on weekdays, and a good stop if you want context on the Medina before or after exploring the souks yourself.
