The mosque was built during the Hafsid era in 1253 by the princess Atf, the second wife of the Hafsid sultan Abu Zakariya Yahya and mother of the sultan Muhammad I al-Mustansir. It taught both Almohad and then Malikite doctrine. It accommodated Al-Zaytuna University students for centuries. The madrasa El Tawfikia had an important political role.
The madrasa is located near the Al-Zaytuna Mosque, at the Souk El Koutbiya, and was built on the site of a caravanserai that used to sell wine. The madrasa is also close to Madrasa Slimania and Madrasa El Bachia. Those three madrasas nearing the Al-Zaytuna Mosque provided schooling and housing for the University of Ez-Zitouna students.
