History
The first part of the mosque was built in 1630 following the orders of Mourad Bey. The minaret was added later by the saint Sidi Amar Kammoun himself in 1659.
Apart of its religious function, the building played a huge defensive role during wars as it provided the soldiers with a full clear view of the coastal facade of the medina from the minaret.
