Localization

The mosque was in the 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 in 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.
