The Tourba de Mohammad Laz is a tomb located in Kasbah Square. It served as a resting place for Mohammad Laz, a local leader for the Ottoman government during the 18th century, and his family members. The structure is notable for its green onion-shaped dome that overlooks the square directly adjacent to the Aziza Othmana Hospital.
Inside the building is a funerary hall that leads to a small, uncovered lobby. This area is surrounded by a corridor containing graves built from white marble, arranged in parallel pitched shapes. The building was officially classified as a historical monument by a decree dated March 13, 1912.
The tomb was built at the initiative of the Dey, Haj Mohammad Laz, an Akinji from Lazistan.
