The Bahia Palace was built in the 1860s by Si Moussa, the grand vizier of the Sultan, as a personal residence. It was later expanded and embellished by his son, Ba Ahmed, who was also a grand vizier, in the late 1890s. The name “Bahia,” which translates to “brilliance,” reflects the palace’s beauty and the ambition behind its creation.
