Great Mosque of Marrakech
The Great Mosque of Marrakech, also known as Koutoubia Mosque, is an important Islamic religious center built in the 12th century. Its striking minaret, about 77 meters tall, is a key city landmark and exemplifies Almohad architecture with its intricate tile work and harmonious proportions. The mosque's spacious prayer hall accommodates thousands of worshippers, reflecting its role in community and spiritual life. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times, though non-Muslims cannot enter the prayer hall. The mosque's design and craftsmanship influence Moroccan architecture and serve as a symbol of Marrakech’s historical and religious heritage.
