HAMMUDA-PACHA MOSQUE
Located at the corner of the street of the Kasbah, it was built in 1655 by the bey Hammouda Pacha al-Mouradi. It is, after the mosque of Youssef Dey, the second Hanafite mosque of Tunis. Its minaret is octagonal with, at its head, a balcony topped by a pyramid. The mosque has three courses. The one on the right, with capitals where the Italian influence can be read, shelters the tomb of Hammouda, an astonishing masterpiece of 17th century art. Just next door, the Ech Chammaia medersa houses a crafts center and an old library.
