'''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, the name Bardo comes from the spanishSpanish word "pardo" meaning a garden. 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.
