Built by the Aghlabid emir, Abu El Abbas, in 850, it owes its massive and severe architecture as well as its eccentric location in relation to the city to its defensive function. In some respects, it is reminiscent of the Okba mosque in Kairouan. One can read a paleochristian influence, especially in the decoration of the mihrab. Divided into 13 naves, the prayer room is elongated. The mosque has the originality to be without minaret. The building stones, often uneven, give an archaic and charming aspect to the building.
