SIDI MAHREZ MOSQUE
This mosque was built at the request of Mohammed Bey al-Mouradi, towards the end of the 17th century, on the Ottoman model. It is not without analogies with the al-Ahmediye mosque of Istanbul. The only mosque with domes in Tunisia, it is regularly considered to be the most beautiful in the capital. Its walls are covered with earthenware and ceramics; its minaret, square, is topped by a small lantern. Opposite the mosque stands the zaouïa of Sidi Mahrez, patron saint of the city and very venerated saint of Tunisians.
