[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Ez-Zeitouna mosque "Olive" is the second oldest mosque in North Africa after that of Okba Ibn Nafiî in Quairaouen. It was also home to one of the oldest universities in the world - It shares this status with the University Alquaraouyin of Fez (Morocco), the University of Cordoba and the University Alazhar of Cairo. The mosque was founded in 732 under the Umayyad dynasty, but the current architectural monument is dating back to the Aghlabid dynasty (in the year 864). The Minaret on the photo takes the composition of Almohad style, but it has been built only in 1894.

La mosquée Ez-zeitouna "Olive ou olivier" est la deuxième plus vieille mosquée d'afrique du nord après celle de Okba Ibn Nafiî de Qairaouen. Elle a été également le siège d'une des plus anciennes universités au monde - elle partage ce statut avec l'université Alquaraouin de Fez (Maroc), l'université de Cordoue et l'université Alazhar du Caire. La mosquée est fondée en 732 sous la dynastie Ommeyade mais le monument architectural actuel remonte à la dynastie Aghlabide (en l'an 864). le minaret sur la photo, reprend le style Almohade, mais il n'a été construit que récemment en 1894.
