History of Koutoubia Mosque
The Koutoubia Mosque was completed in the 12th century under Almohad Caliph Abd al-Mumin. Its elegant 70-metre minaret has inspired mosque minarets across North Africa and Spain. The mosque's name comes from 'kutubiyyin' (booksellers), as a market of manuscript sellers once surrounded it. It remains the spiritual heart of Marrakech and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city.
