Hammam Remimi Mosque (Arabic: جامع حمام الرميمي) is a Tunisian Masjid in the Halfaouine hood in the north of the Medina of Tunis.

History

[edit]

According to the commemorative plaque at the entrance, it was built in 1781 during the Husainid era.

Etymology

[edit]

The mosque got its name from a hammam near to it that was founded in 1245 by Mohamed Remimi (Arabic: محمد الرميمي) who came from Almería during the Hafsid era.[1]

Localization

[edit]

It can be found in the Hammam Remimi Street, between two gates of the medina: Bab Souika and Bab El Khadra.[2]
