Carthage Palace (Arabic: قصر قرطاج) is the presidential palace of Tunisia, and the official residence and seat of the President of Tunisia. It is located along the Mediterranean Sea at the current city of Carthage, near the archaeological site of the ancient city, fifteen kilometers from Tunis.[1] A house by Le Corbusier sits within the site.
