Dar El Agha Mosque is an ancient Tunisian mosque that was located in the north of the Medina of Tunis.
Localization
The mosque was on Agha street.
Etymology
The mosque and the street got their name from the agha, a military commandant of the Ottoman era, who had a house on the same street.
History
We don't have enough information about the construction date of the mosque. However, we know that the last agha who lived in the house was Abou El Abbes Ahmed El Kbir (Arabic : أبو العباس أحمد الكبير). Afterwards, cheikh Ahmed Belkhodja [fr]’s children possessed the house. The mosque may have been constructed during the period of Ottoman rule in Tunis.
