The Great Mosque of Kairouan

#100waysoftravel The Great Mosque of Kairouan, also known as the Mosque of Uqba, is an architectural marvel and a symbol of Islamic heritage. Built in 670 AD by Uqba ibn Nafi, the mosque has undergone several restorations and expansions over the centuries, but it retains its original grandeur and historical significance. The porticoes are supported by intricately carved columns, many of which were repurposed from earlier Roman and Byzantine structures, showcasing a blend of cultural influences.
