Sfax - Great Mosque
|
|
Rue de la Grande Mosquée, parallel to Rue Mongi Slim, leads to the Great Mosque, in the center of the Medina in Sfax. Founded in 849, it was rebuilt for the first time in the 10th/11th century and finally completed in 1759, under Turkish rule. Non-Muslims may enter only the inner courtyard. At the end of the rectangular courtyard is the nine-aisled, twelve-bayed prayer hall, its vaulting borne on antique columns.
