Sidi Darghut Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Tripoli, Libya.
The mosque contains a T-shaped prayer hall divided into three sections, with a rectangular courtyard surrounded by five corridors supported by twelve columns.
Built around 1560 by Ottoman governor Draghut Reis after recapturing Tripoli from the Knights Hospitaller, the mosque incorporated parts of their former church structure.
The prayer hall features traditional Islamic elements including two mihrabs, Quranic calligraphy, and ornamental plant motifs decorating twenty round-shaped domes.
The mosque compound includes a cemetery, tombs of Draghut and his family, and a fountain for ritual ablutions before prayer ceremonies.
The original prayer hall contained 27 small cupolas, which increased to 32 during reconstruction efforts following damage sustained in World War II.
