Stand in reverence of the artistry and scale of Koutoubia Mosque, constructed during the 12th century CE. The mosque includes a large courtyard and gardens, while the main sandstone and brick represents the traditional Almohad style, with minimal decorations taking the form of geometrical holes and inscriptions. The towering minaret stands 77 m (253 ft) tall, with a spire of gilded copper balls. You can plan Marrakech trip in no time by asking Inspirock to help create your itinerary.

  Tiene mas fama de la que se merece, es una mezquita normal y corriente por fuera, naturalmente por dentro no se visita.  more »

  It has more fame than it deserves, it is an ordinary mosque on the outside, naturally inside it is not visited.

  ムワッヒド朝時代の1147年に建てられたモスクのミナレットで、高さは77mとマラケシュのランドマーク的存在。礼拝を呼びかけるアザーンを流すためのミナレットも、地域ごとに特徴があって、モロッコのものは角柱形。トルコやイランとは全く違った形式で、同じイスラム教でも国や地域によって違いがあるのも興味深い。  more »

  Built in 1147 during the Mwahid dynasty, this minaret mosque is 77m high and a landmark in Marrakech. The minaret for the azan to call for worship is also characteristic of each region, and the Moroccan one is a prismar shape. It is interesting to see that it is in a completely different format from Turkey and Iran, and that the same Islam differs from country to country.

  I really liked this mosque, because the architecture is so beautiful. I recommend going there at sunset, since you will get great pictures. I would also suggest to visit the surrounding parks - also a lot of good photo opportunities!

  Beautiful place. It was really a nice place to take a walk and enjoy the gardens. There were a lot of vendors selling orange juice, sugar cane juice and other snacks. It was nice to just relax for a bit and have a juice to cool off during the hot summer days!
