Koutoubia Mosque
 

Description

A structure that has stood for over 800 years, the Koutoubia Mosque, with its 70 meters-high emblematic minaret, is the largest mosque in the city. It got its name from the Arabic word for "librarian", since around the time of its construction and completion in the early 12th century, the site used to be surrounded by manuscript sellers. The Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat were constructed using the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque as a model. Entry into the mosque is prohibited for non-Muslims. The beautiful garden around can be visited.
