Tucked in the heart of Independence National Historical Park, this Georgian-style building, constructed in 1770, hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774, a defining moment on the road to American independence. What makes Carpenters' Hall unique is its origins in craftsmanship—originally built as the meeting place for the Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia, the oldest trade guild in the U.S., which still owns and operates the building today.

Bab al-Bhar, the monumental gateway to the Medina of Tunis, stands as a portal between eras. Once part of the old city’s defensive walls, its arch now opens onto a lively plaza where daily life unfolds. Here, children play by fountains, artisans sell traditional textiles, and tea houses hum with conversation. Beyond lies the Medina, Tunisia’s historic heart. Its narrow streets branch into specialised souqs, each dedicated to specific crafts: copper smiths hammering wares, perfumers blending oils and leather workers stitching goods. At its centre rises Al-Zaytuna Mosque, the city’s oldest and most revered site. Stalls between these hubs offer ceramics, textiles, and other handcrafted treasures. Visit mid-week to navigate comfortably. On Saturdays, the crowds can become overwhelming, and on Sundays many shops stay closed.
