SAHEB ETTABAÂ MOSQUE
Built in the Halfaouine district in 1814 by Youssef Saheb At Tabâa, the minister of the Husseinite bey Hammouda Pacha, it is one of the most beautiful mosques in Tunis. It is also marked by Italian influences. The foundations were built using stone from Carthage. The minaret is octagonal in shape. Its crowning glory was left unfinished on the death of Saheb At Tabâa, and completed in 1970. The mosque contains 2 small necropolises. One houses the tomb of its founder, the other those of the master builder and historian Ibn Abi Dhiaf.
