Mosque of the Bey, Religious complex in Béja, Tunisia
The Mosque of the Bey sits between the Medjerdah River and Mediterranean Sea, featuring a design that emphasizes spiritual purpose over ornate decorations.
Murad II Bey ordered the construction of this mosque in 1675 to provide a dedicated space for Hanafi Muslim worship in the growing city.
A madrasa addition in 1685 by Mohamed Bey El Mouradi transformed the mosque into an educational center for religious studies and community learning.
The mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and requires visitors to respect local customs, including appropriate dress and removal of shoes before entering.
Located on the slopes of Djebel Acheb, the mosque stands near an ancient Roman fortress, representing multiple layers of architectural history in one location.
