Koutoubia Mosque

The Koutoubia Mosque, located in Marrakech, Morocco, is a historic Islamic place of worship built in the 12th century. It is known for its striking architecture, especially its tall, slender minaret (tower) standing about 77 meters (253 feet) high, which is a key landmark in the city. The mosque reflects Almohad Moroccan design, with detailed brickwork and arches. While non-Muslims are not permitted inside, the mosque's exterior and minaret are admired for their beauty and influence on subsequent Islamic architecture, symbolizing Marrakech’s rich history and religious significance.
