Jemaâ Fadhloun, 14th-century mosque in Midoun, Tunisia
The Fadhloun Mosque contains a square prayer hall measuring 7.5 by 7.2 meters, supported by four central columns that define three naves under nine domes.
Built during the 14th century, the mosque incorporated defensive features with buttresses and a minaret that functioned as a watchtower for the local population.
The mosque maintains its role as an educational center with two Koranic teaching rooms, reflecting the continuous tradition of religious instruction in Midoun.
The mosque complex includes an underground grain mill, bakery, and water collection system in the courtyard for community sustenance and practical needs.
The architectural layout of Fadhloun Mosque differs from other Tunisian religious buildings, featuring a combination of square and circular elements in its two-level minaret.
