El Mouassine Mosque, Mosque in Medina district, Marrakesh, Morocco.
El Mouassine Mosque features a central courtyard, prayer hall divided by arches, and a short minaret at its northwestern corner point.
Sultan Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib commissioned the construction of El Mouassine Mosque between 1562 and 1573 on a former Jewish cemetery site.
The mosque complex includes a library, madrasa for education, hammam for public bathing, and spaces dedicated to community gatherings.
Located near the entrance to the medina markets, El Mouassine Mosque provides water access through its adjacent public fountain system.
The minaret remains incomplete due to a local vizier's intervention regarding privacy concerns for neighboring residences during the construction period.
