The Great Mosque of Kairouan, also known as the Mosque of Uqba, is one of the most significant and oldest places of worship in the Islamic world, located in Kairouan, Tunisia. Established in 670 AD by the Arab general Uqba ibn Nafi, it stands as a remarkable example of Islamic architecture and features a large courtyard, a hypostyle prayer hall, and a towering minaret that served as a prototype for subsequent minarets in the western Islamic world.
