Lonely Planet review for Mosque of Sidi Brahim

The main reason to come to El-Atteuf is to see the Mosque of Sidi Brahim. Some 700 years old, it's a simple white building complete with curved walls, arches and inclined pillars made from palm trunks. It contains the remains of Sidi Brahim, a Muslim scholar, and is said to have inspired the French architect le Corbusier to build a church in a similar fashion in France: the Chapel Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp.
