The Koutoubia Mosque

The Koutoubia Mosque

 
the Koutoubia, the great square of Jemaa el Fna and the Menara are all symbolic of Marrakech. The Almohads started on the building of the Koutoubia in 1150, and it took them 40 years to complete. With its simplicity of design, highly sophisticated decoration and perfectly balanced proportions, it is regarded as one of the Maghreb’s most beautiful monuments. It served as a model for two sister mosques, the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat. Its 77-metre minaret can be seen from 25 kilometres away and, lit up in the evenings, it becomes the city’s “spiritual lighthouse”.
