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

History

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

Etymology

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

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