|
The Symposium will be hold in the wonderful place “Centre International Dar Sébastien of Hammamet”.
Hammamet’s International Culture Centre (Dar Sébastien) is a place to visit in Hammamet and Tunisia. The villa was designed and built by Romanian millionaire George Sebastian between 1920 and 1932. Frank Lloyd Wright said it was one of the most beautiful places he knew; the appreciative architect was just one of Sebastian’s many illustrious, bohemian guests. The mansion has a central colonnaded swimming pool, a huge black marble dining table and a baptistery font–style four-seater bath surrounded by mirrors. Nazi commander Erwin Rommel got to enjoy the bath when he used the house as an Axis headquarters during WWII – as did British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who stayed here after the war to write his memoirs. The terrace faces a wonderful botanic garden and the sea-flooded horizon. You can walk down to the beach – it’s a particularly lovely stretch of sand and usually empty, so bring your beach kit with you. The 14-acre grounds also include a Greek-style amphitheatre, built in 1962, used during July and August to stage Hammamet’s annual International Cultural Festival, with entertainment ranging from classical theatre to Arabic music. The cultural center is 3km northwest of the town center – a taxi will set you back 3DT or so.
