The Great Mosque

Toward the south from the souk, on the way to the Castle of St. Louis, is the G reat Mosque. The mosque has replaced the Church of St. John of the Hospitalers. The four walls of this great rectangular building date back to the 13th Century.

The palace of Fakhreddine was formerly situated on the terrace to the east of the mosque.
