Street in beautiful Sidi Bou Said - Fotografía de stock

Sidi Bou Said has a reputation as a town of artists. With its distinctive blue-and-white colour scheme, cobbled streets and jaw-dropping glimpses of azure waters, the cliff-top village of Sidi Bou Saïd is one of the prettiest spots in Tunisia. Everywhere you look in the village, you'll see its signature dazzling white walls and staircases, with everything else a uniform shade of vivid blue. Doors, window frames, shutters, decorative iron grilles and elaborate latticework window screens (known as moucharabiehs) are all painted the imperial blue of a peacock's tail. Only the larger doors show some variation, with splashes of chrome yellow, white or red.
