Bar Zilli

Bar Zilli was built during the late stages of Italian colonial rule^[2] and was architecturally modeled according to the art style of Art Deco.

Bar Zilli is an easily-recognizable building that was featured in a Fodor's Architectural publication. The architecture is described as featuring a "curved façade with a mix of central vertical windows and small horizontal strips at the corners are the reasons why experts have called this structure “idiosyncratic” and “distinctive.”^[3]

According to a New York Times article written in 2017," The Bar Zilli building looks like an old-fashioned radio set, with windows like tuning buttons."^[4]
