'''Le Bardo''' (also '''Bārdaw''', '''Bardaw''', and '''Bardois''') is a [[Tunisia]]n city west of [[Tunis]]. As of 2004, the population is 73,953.
 
Built by the [[Hafsid dynasty]] in the [[15th century]], Bardo became a residence of the Tunis court in the [[18th century]]. With the arrival of [[ Husainid Dynasty|Hussein]]ite [[bey]]s, Bardo became a political, intellectual and religious center. The ancient beys residence was actually the site of the Tunisian National Assembly siege, and the National Museum opened there in [[1882]].
