Dar El Agha Mosque is an ancient Tunisian mosque that was located in the north of the Medina of Tunis.

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  [fr]'s children possessed the house.
