    The main mosque of Kairouan is the landmark of the city of Kairouan and, according to Islamic tradition, was chosen as a place of prayer by the conqueror of North Africa, ʿUqba ibn Nāfiʿ, on the camp site of the Muslim army as early as 670.

      Built in 672, it is the largest mosque in Tunisia. A visit to the holy city of Kairouan in Tunisia is a highlight for all visitors interested in the origins and contemporary oriental history. The old town of Kairouan, the Medina, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.
