Ksar Mosque, Religious monument in Tunis, Tunisia.
The Ksar Mosque features a central courtyard with surrounding porticos supported by columns and capitals in Turkish Prayer Hall design.
Built in 1106 by Ahmad ibn Abd al-Aziz, leader of the Banu Khurasan, the mosque underwent modifications when Ottoman rulers attached it to Hanafi school in 1598.
The mosque interior displays a combination of Moorish decorations and Fatimid influences, particularly visible in the eastern facade with large bows and horseshoes.
The entrance leads through a covered walkway to an elevated courtyard positioned above the main prayer hall of the mosque.
The mihrab contains seven distinct niches separated by pilasters and crowned with a fluted half-dome constructed in Fatimid architectural style.
