Koutoubia Mosque
During your stay in Marrakech, don't miss the Koutoubia Mosque, one of the city's most famous monuments. Consider renting a car in Marrakech and visit this magnificent mosque.
The city of Marrakech is one of the largest cities in Morocco. It has many cultural and historical sites. Among these, the Koutoubia Mosque holds an important place. And for good reason, as this mosque is almost a thousand years old.
Remains of the Almohad dynasty
Built starting in 1120, the Koutoubia Mosque stands out for its rather sober architecture, representative of the Almohad architectural style. The minaret—69 meters high—contrasts with the rest of the mosque. Covered in ceramic tiles and copper balls, the minaret is less refined than the rest of the monument because it was built several years later.
The Koutoubia Mosque is only open to Muslims. However, no visit to Marrakech is complete without seeing this historic site, which is well worth admiring, even from the outside.
