The mosque was located in Etataouni Street. It was built during the Hafsid era and consisted of a hall and the tomb of its founder. [1]

Hall large room often used for meetings

In architecture, a hall is a relatively large space enclosed by a roof and walls. In the Iron Age and early Middle Ages in northern Europe, a mead hall was where a lord and his retainers ate and also slept. Later in the Middle Ages, the great hall was the largest room in castles and large houses, and where the servants usually slept. As more complex house plans developed, the hall remained a large room for dancing and large feasts, often still with servants sleeping there. It was usually immediately inside the main door. In modern British houses, an entrance hall next to the front door remains an indispensable feature, even if it is essentially merely a corridor.

Etymology

The mosque was named after the Imam Mohamed Etataouni (Arabic : محمد التطاوني‎) who died in 1878. [1]
