About
The Ben Youssef Mosque or Ibn Yusuf Mosque (Arabic: مسجد ابن يوسف), is a mosque in the Medina quarter of Marrakesh, Morocco, named after the Almoravid ruler Ali ibn Yusuf. The mosque was originally founded in either the late 11th or early 12th century as the city's principal congregational mosque. Of the original Almoravid mosque almost nothing remains, except for the nearby Almoravid Qubba. The mosque was rebuilt and renovated at later periods and the current building dates from a reconstruction that was completed in 1819–20.
