Mouassine Mosque
Mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco
About
The Mouassine Mosque or al-Muwassin Mosque (Arabic: جامع المواسين, romanized: jama' al-muwāssīn) is a major mosque in the Mouassine neighbourhood of Marrakesh, Morocco. It was built in the 16th century by order of the Saadian sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib. It was designed to serve as the Friday mosque of a newly redeveloped neighbourhood and formed the central element of a larger religious-charitable complex that also included a madrasa, a hammam, a library, and the Mouassine Fountain. The design of the mosque itself is typical of Moroccan architecture from this period except for its minaret, which is unusually short and simple.
