Great Mosque of Constantine

The Great Mosque contains a large prayer hall, multiple columns of Corinthian style, and a minaret visible throughout Constantine's urban landscape.

Built in 1135 by the Hammadid dynasty, this religious structure stands on former Roman temple foundations, incorporating ancient columns and capitals.

The mosque functions as an educational institution where scholars teach Islamic principles and Arabic language to students of different ages.

The mosque requires visitors to remove shoes, wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees, and respect prayer times during their visits.

The prayer hall features a mihrab with a fluted semi-dome and interlaced arches, displaying a combination of Fatimid and Hammadid architectural elements.
