Ben Salah Mosque, Marinid mosque in Medina of Marrakesh, Morocco
The rectangular prayer hall contains nine aisles arranged in a T-shape pattern, with two rows of arches leading to a central mihrab.
Construction of the mosque took place between 1318 and 1321 during the reign of Marinid Sultan Abu Said Uthman II in Marrakesh.
The minaret displays traditional Moroccan architectural elements, including darj-wa-ktaf patterns and polylobed arch motifs across its decorated facades.
A madrasa built adjacent to the mosque in 1671 contains multiple rooms across two levels, offering potential space for educational activities.
This mosque represents the only major surviving Marinid-era monument in Marrakesh, featuring a minaret influenced by the nearby Kasbah Mosque design.
