Located in front of Dar Hussein (Bab Menara), it was built in the early 12th century.

[1] The mosque was originally built circa 1106 by Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, the leader of the Banu Khurasan who governed Tunis during this time.

The minaret was rebuilt in 1647/48,[4] and decorated with marble and terra cotta glazed in a Moorish style, and its eastern facade is decorated with big bows and horseshoes in the Fatimid style.

Access to the mosque is through a door under a covered walkway that opens into a courtyard elevated above the prayer hall.

At the back of the hall, the mihrab, of remarkable size, is semicircular with seven niches separated by pilasters.
