Koutoubia Mosque

Rising above the skyline of Marrakech, the Koutoubia Mosque is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and a masterpiece of Almohad architecture. Dating back to the 12th century, this grand mosque has long stood as a symbol of Marrakech, with its elegant minaret dominating the historic medina and shaping the city’s silhouette to this day. The Koutoubia is also part of the UNESCO-listed Medina of Marrakesh, where it is recognised as one of the defining monuments of the urban landscape.

Beyond its architectural splendour, the Koutoubia Mosque remains a powerful symbol of Marrakech’s spiritual and cultural identity.
