About Koutoubia Mosque

The Koutoubia Mosque or Kutubiyya Mosque is the biggest mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco. The mosque is additionally known by a few different names, for example, Jami' al-Kutubiyah, Kotoubia Mosque, Kutubiya Mosque, Kutubiyyin Mosque, and Mosque of the Booksellers. It is situated in the southwest medina quarter of Marrakesh. The mosque is ornamented with bended windows, a band of earthenware trim, pointed merlons, and beautiful curves; it has a huge square with gardens, and is floodlit during the evening. The minaret, 77 meters (253 ft) in tallness, incorporates a tower and circles. It was finished under the rule of the Berber Almohad Caliph Yaqub al-Mansur (1184 to 1199), and has propelled different structures, for example, the Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat.

The mosque is made of red stone, once in the past put, and has six rooms in progression, one over the other. It was composed in order to keep anybody looking in from the minaret to the collections of mistresses of the ruler. Indeed, even in the present day, such confinements are authorized by blocking Google Earth access to Moroccans. Engineering points of interest of the old mosque and the new mosque are indistinguishable aside from the introduction. Subsequently, what is valid for one remains constant for the other, however the primary mosque is presently abandoned. It is planned in a conventional Almohad style and the pinnacle is decorated with copper globes.
