Chrabliyine Mosque, Medieval mosque in Medina of Fez, Morocco

The Chrabliyine Mosque features a tall minaret decorated with traditional Moroccan-Andalusian geometric patterns and horseshoe arches near its foundation.

Built in 1342 during the Marinid dynasty under Sultan Abu al-Hasan, the mosque underwent substantial renovations during Sultan Moulay Slimane's reign from 1792 to 1822.

The mosque includes a dedicated funeral prayer space called 'Mosque of the Dead' on its eastern side, where traditional Islamic burial ceremonies take place.

Located in the central market of Old Fez, the mosque maintains separate entrances for the main prayer hall and funeral area through small doorways on the building's east side.

The prayer hall contains two transverse naves with five horseshoe arches parallel to the qibla wall, crowned by an octagonal dome with muqarnas decorations.
