Great Mosque of Rabat, Moroccan mosque in Medina district, Rabat, Morocco.

The Great Mosque of Rabat extends across 1800 square meters and contains six entrance gates within its traditional Moroccan architectural structure.

Constructed during the Marinid period in the 13th century, this religious building received major modifications in 1882 and a new 33-meter minaret in 1939.

The mosque functions as the primary Friday prayer location in the Andalusian medina, located at the intersection of Souk Sebbat and Rue Bab Chellah.

The mosque features separate prayer areas, multiple entrances, and traditional ablution facilities for religious ceremonies and daily prayers.

Known locally as the Mosque of the Cobblers, this religious structure maintains its original hypostyle design with organized rows of columns supporting the prayer hall.
