Tangier Grand Mosque, Historic mosque in Medina district, Tangier, Morocco
The Grand Mosque features a prominent minaret with geometric patterns, green decorative elements, and a wooden canopy from the early 19th century.
The mosque site evolved from a Roman temple to Hercules through a 5th-century church before becoming a Muslim place of worship during the Marinid dynasty.
The mosque maintains its position as a central religious institution near the Grand Socco square, where legal proceedings and community gatherings occur.
The mosque operates daily prayer times and welcomes visitors outside prayer hours, with appropriate dress code requirements for entering the premises.
Sultan Moulay Slimane ordered a complete reconstruction in 1815 after finding the previous structure insufficient for the growing Muslim community.
