Abu al-Hassan Mosque, Medieval mosque in Fes el Bali, Morocco
The Abu al-Hassan Mosque features a rectangular structure with a square courtyard, galleries, and a transverse prayer hall spanning the building's width.
Founded in 1341 during the Marinid dynasty, the mosque received extensive modifications under Sultan Moulay Slimane's reign between 1792 and 1822.
The mosque's mihrab displays intricate stucco work incorporating Arabic calligraphy, geometric patterns, and traditional Islamic ornamental designs.
Located on Tala'a Seghira street near Bou Inania Madrasa, the mosque maintains regular prayer times and welcomes visitors outside worship hours.
The minaret presents different decorative patterns on each facade, with sebka motifs on east and west sides and interlacing designs on north and south faces.
