Kasbah Mosque, Religious monument in Medina, Tangier, Morocco
The Kasbah Mosque features traditional Moroccan architecture with brick and stucco construction, including a prominent minaret and a square courtyard with indoor galleries.
The current structure, built between 1684 and 1817, sits on a site that previously held a Roman temple, church, and cathedral during different periods of occupation.
The mosque functions as both a religious center and gathering place, with adjacent facilities including a judge's house, timekeeper's residence, hospital, and religious school.
The mosque remains an active place of worship in the heart of Tangier's Medina, though access is restricted to Muslim visitors only.
King Mohammed V delivered a significant speech at this mosque in 1947, leading to later expansions under Hassan II in 1962 and restorations by Mohammed VI in 2001.
