The mosque of La Koutoubia is great land mark in Marrakech. It is still functioning Mosque and non Muslim can not go inside. The tower is high 77 meters and it is facing the main square. Highly recommend it.

The Koutoubia Mosque is not just the largest mosque in Marrakech; it's the soul of the city. Built in the 12th century by the Almohads , its famous 77-meter minaret is a masterpiece of Moorish architecture that inspired the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat . 🇲🇦 Its name, meaning 'Booksellers' Mosque,' comes from a bustling market of manuscripts and books that once stood nearby . While non-Muslims cannot enter, the exterior is breathtaking. Be sure to walk around the beautiful rose gardens for the best views and to see the intricate geometric patterns and ceramic inlays on the minaret . It's a stunning landmark, especially beautiful when lit up at night . A true symbol of Marrakech's rich history .
