Saheb Ettabaâ Mosque, Ottoman mosque complex in Halfaouine, Tunisia
The Saheb Ettabaâ Mosque features Italian architectural elements, including fluted shaft columns, capitals, and polychrome veneer marble throughout its structure.
Constructed between 1808 and 1814, the mosque stands as the final major religious structure built in Tunis before the French protectorate establishment in 1881.
The mosque functions as part of a külliye, incorporating a madrassa, funduq, hammam, shop complex, and tomb, representing traditional Ottoman religious architecture.
The mosque complex includes multiple facilities accessible through the maze-like streets of the Halfaouine district, near the central Medina of Tunis.
The construction workforce consisted of European pirate-captured slaves provided by Hammouda Pacha to complete this architectural masterwork.
