Diwan Mosque, Religious building in Fes el-Bali, Morocco.
Diwan Mosque is a prayer house in the Old City of Fez with traditional Moroccan design visible on its exterior and interior surfaces. Ceramic tiles, plaster moldings, and carved wood details cover the walls and ceilings throughout.
The mosque was built during Sultan Moulay Slimane's rule in the late 1700s as part of his vision for religious architecture. It emerged during a period of renewed building activity and patronage in Fez.
The mosque serves as a prayer space where neighbors gather together and share religious observances. Daily use by local worshippers keeps traditional Islamic practices woven into the medina's rhythm.
The mosque is located near the main street Tala'a Kebira and can be reached from several directions within the medina. Access is straightforward given its central position in the quarter.
The inner courtyard is spacious enough to hold many worshippers during major Islamic holidays. This capacity makes it an important gathering place for the community.
