Built above the ruins of ancient Carthage on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, the village has been a haven for artists since Paul Klee and August Macke arrived in 1914 and the light changed their painting forever. The blue-and-white palette is not a modern aesthetic choice but a building regulation introduced by Baron Rodolphe d’Erlanger in 1915 — a piece of legislation that accidentally created one of the most photographed villages on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colors are absolute and extraordinary: cobalt blue, brilliant white, and the warm amber of the Mediterranean light on white walls at golden hour.
