it's in new Chenini and it's a tiny white mosque surrounded by 4-m-long tombs. One of the legends connected with it is that the Romans imprisoned 7 Christians underground for more than 300 years, but they went to sleep, the did not die, and when they were finally let out, they had grown to over 4m tall.
