The Great Mosque of Kairouan
The Great Mosque of Kairouan (or Uqba Mosque), a major Islamic monument in North Africa. It is one of the main mosques in Tunisia, located in Kairouan. Historically the first Muslim metropolis in the Maghreb, Kairouan, whose political and intellectual peak was in the 9th century[2], is renowned as the spiritual and religious center of Tunisia; it is also sometimes considered the fourth holiest city in Sunni Islam. Representing the emblematic building of the city, its great mosque remains the oldest and most prestigious sanctuary in the Muslim West. Appearing, since the Beylical decree of March 13, 1912, on the list of historical and archaeological monuments classified and protected in Tunisia, it was also classified, with the historic ensemble of Kairouan, as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1988.
