Villa Georg Sebastian. This magnificent house was built by a European settler who settled in Tunisia in 1920. After the first owner died, a big number of owners changed the house, but in the end, the city administration became the owner of the villa. The villa has an unusual, unique architecture. Nowadays, it is a great place for lazy walks in the garden, for a calm and secluded relaxation far from the noisy city streets.
