The Great Mosque of Chefchaouen, Muslim prayer temple in Place Outa Hammam, Morocco
The Great Mosque of Chefchaouen stands near the historic kasbah, featuring an octagonal minaret and traditional Moroccan architectural elements with red-tiled roofing.
Founded between 1471 and 1476 by Moulay Ali ibn Rashid al-Alami, the mosque has served as a central location for religious ceremonies and official proclamations.
The prayer hall contains eight aisles separated by horseshoe arches, reflecting the regional architectural style while maintaining minimal interior decorations.
Visitors must remove shoes and wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees when entering the mosque during non-prayer times.
The minaret displays three distinct tiers of blind arches decorated with red ochre and whitewash, creating a notable contrast against the city's blue buildings.
