The Sidi Darghut Mosque (Arabic: جامع درغوت باشا), also known as the Jama Sidi Darghut, is a Sunni Islam mosque, located in Tripoli, Libya. It was built in approximately 1560 CE by Dragut on the site of a Hospitaller church, parts of which were incorporated into the mosque. The mosque was damaged in World War II, and it was subsequently repaired, although the reconstruction was not completely faithful to its original design.
