Built under the Hafsid dynasty, Hafsid sultan Abū lshâq Ibrâhîm al-Mustansir (1349–1369), it was named Bab er-Rehiba or "the small esplanade gate". In 1435, it took the name of Bab El Allouj, when Sultan Uthman (Hafsid), Abu Amr Uthman brought his mother's family from Italy (his mother was a former Italian captive) and installed her in the esplanade quarter which became Rahbat El Allouj, (in the singular ), describing white foreigners and often Christian slaves.
