A street and a flight of steps lead to the 17C Sidi Bou Makhlouf mosque, which is easily recognisable by its octagonal minaret and two delightful ribbed domes. The dazzling white mosque owes its reputation to its interior decoration of finely carved stuccowork and green stars and crescent moons. A very narrow staircase leads to the top of the minaret which boasts fine views of the town's rooftops with the plain in the background.
