Great Mosque of Salé, Islamic prayer site in Salé, Morocco
The Great Mosque of Salé spans 5,070 square meters with nine characteristic arches and stands as Morocco's third-largest religious structure.
Construction of the initial mosque began in 1028, followed by substantial reconstruction under Almohad ruler Yaqub al-Mansur in 1196.
The mosque maintains its role as the main religious center of Salé's old city, connecting residents through daily prayers and community gatherings.
Located in the heart of Salé's medina, the mosque features separate prayer areas for men and women, with primary access through the eastern entrance.
The structure bears marks from the 1851 French bombardment when six cannonballs struck the building, leading to extensive restoration efforts.
