Kutubiyya Mosque or Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech, Morocco
Kutubiyya Mosque is located in the southwest medina quarter of Marrakesh, near the famous public place of Jemaa el-Fna, and is flanked by large gardens. The mosque was founded in 1147 by the Almohad caliph Abd al-Mu`min right after he conquered Marrakesh from the Almoravids. A second version of the mosque was entirely rebuilt by Abd al-Mu`min around 1158, with Ya`qub al-Mansur possibly finalizing construction of the minaret around 1195.
