Overview
About the mosque
It is one of the most amazing monuments of Tunisia's entire ancient architectural heritage, not just Djerba.
In Djerba's "landscape," he shows the harmony of the island's sacred buildings from a distance. Seen up close, the ensemble's arrangement and "anatomy" are astonishing, but they still create a transcendence that captivates the viewer. This monument consists of three parts:
A chapel towering in the middle of a fenced courtyard. The floor is covered with lime plaster.
Internal annex. It consists of a main room that housed the teachings of the Koran, and two small rooms are adjacent. One is for accommodation and the other is for food storage.
Annex and 'Koran' school with room for bathing. It is also used as an underground flour mill and bakery.
