EMIR ASSAF MOSQUE

Known as the "Seraglio Mosque" or Mosque of Amir Mansour Assaf, dating from the end of the 16th century, this small building was renovated after suffering some outrages during the civil war. The muqarnass, these mosaics of Islamic art, are particularly remarkable. The central dome is supported by granite columns dating from Roman times. Can be visited quickly on the way to the souks. Its name comes from the proximity of the Small Seraglio which occupied until the beginning of the 20th century the north of the Martyrs' Square.
