Originally constructed in 1258 CE, it is one of the main and largest mosques of the old town of Ghadames.

The mosque's earliest recorded history dates to the time of the Islamic conquests in the seventh century CE, after which it underwent restoration and expansion.

After being completely destroyed during World War II, the mosque was reconstructed while retaining its distinctive architectural design.

The Atiq Mosque, which is a part of Old Town of Ghadames, was included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.
