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.

Mosquée non accessible aux visiteurs, mais elle reste un très beau bâtiment à l'extérieur avec son minaret lumineux sous le soleil de Marrakech. Son emplacement près du jardin permet de le photographier sous différentes perspectives.

Mosquée non visitable avec son majestueux minaret couleur ocre c'est un peu le symbole de la ville. Situé à côté de jama el fna. Au coucher du soleil très photogénique.

Grande mosquée au cœur de Marrakech (à quelques pas de la place Jemaâ el-Fna). La pierre ocre du minaret est magnifique à observer au coucher du soleil depuis un des parcs situés aux alentours. La mosquée ne se visite pas par les non-musulmans.
