The Great Mosque of Sousse, constructed in 851 during the reign of the Aghlabid dynasty under the Abbasid Caliphate, stands as a major monument of early Islamic architecture in the coastal Tunisian city of Sousse. Commissioned by the ruler Abu al-'Abbas Muhammad al-Aghlabi, the mosque exemplifies Aghlabid architectural achievement and underwent multiple renovations and expansions of its prayer hall in subsequent centuries. Today it is recognized as a listed monument of Tunisia and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
