A landmark for the caravaneers of yesteryear and for today's visitors, the Almohad mosque stretches its 77 metres of delicacy towards the sky.

For nine centuries, this masterpiece of Hispano-Moorish art has dominated the Red City. When the city was taken by the Almohads in 1147, Sultan Abd el-Moumen undertook to re-establish a firm doctrine of Islam and to endow his capital with a mosque symbolizing these values. But soon after the inauguration, it was realized that the mosque did not point to Mecca! He ordered its destruction and began the construction of the one that watches over Marrakech today. The Koutoubia owes its name to the book souk that once stood at its feet.

Monument phare de Marrakech
Sa couleur ocre symbole de Marrakech et son emplacement pas loin de jemaa el fna en font un incontournable. Mais une fois la photo faite , le jardin qui l'entoure n'a rien d'exceptionnel si ce n'est sa légère fraîcheur en été .

Un must !
Il s'agit de l'emblème de la ville de Marrakech ! Cette mosquée surplombe la place Jemaa El Fna. Elle est entourée d'un petit jardin. N'hésitez pas à y faire un tour.

Construite à partir de 1150, la Koutoubia, considérée comme l'un des plus beaux monuments du MAGHREB est appelée le phare de MARRAKECH, car avec son minaret culminant à 77 mètres, il se voit à 25 kilomètres à la ronde. Il a servi de modèle pour construire la tour HASSAN à RABAT et la GIRALDA de SEVILLE
