The Ali Betchine mosque was built in 1622 by the Venetian Piccinino-Ali Bitchine, a former slave of Turkish privateers converted to Islam in order to free himself. Renegade, he thus reaches the title of chief of the Taïfa of Raïs. After having sheltered the pharmacy of the colonial army, it is dedicated to the Christian worship in 1843 under the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires. The original building has suffered significant damage due to its various uses and the degradation caused by the activity of the nearby souk. A restoration project is trying since 1988 to rehabilitate the mosque.
