Al-Beida Mosque

The Al-Beida Mosque features a minaret rising 12.85 meters, incorporating traditional brick and wood construction with geometric patterns on its square shaft.

Built around 1340 during the Marinid dynasty period, the mosque expanded from a small interior space to include a courtyard and surrounding galleries.

The entrance displays a horseshoe arch with carved stucco decorations, while the interior contains a traditional mihrab and zellij tilework throughout the structure.

Located on the Grande Rue of Fes el-Jdid, the mosque includes an ablutions room accessible from both outside and through the courtyard for religious preparations.

The mosque incorporates a public fountain with mosaic tilework into its exterior wall, creating a connection between religious and community spaces.
