Al-Mansur Mosque, Islamic shrine in Medina, Marrakesh, Morocco
The Al-Mansur Mosque features a 77-meter minaret and incorporates traditional Islamic design elements with detailed stonework throughout its structure and prayer halls.
Sultan Yaqub al-Mansur commissioned this religious building in 1189 during the Almohad dynasty as part of the grand architectural developments in Marrakesh.
The mosque maintains its function as a religious center where scholars and citizens gather for daily prayers and traditional Islamic ceremonies.
Located within the Medina of Marrakesh, the mosque provides spaces for outdoor prayers in its courtyard and remains active for regular worship services.
The minaret's architectural design established a template that influenced the construction of numerous subsequent mosques across Morocco and North Africa.
