Koutoubia Mosque

Location - Avenue Mohammed V The Koutoubia Mosque is Marrakesh's most well-known landmark with its striking, 70-meter-tall minaret visible for miles in every direction. Marrakesh legend tells that when first built, the muezzin i.e. a man who calls the faithful to pray for this mosque, had to be blind as the minaret was so tall that it overlooked the ruler's harem. The mosque was set up in 1162 and is one of the incredible achievements of Almohad engineering. Non-Muslims are not permitted into the mosque itself. The huge Koutoubia is the oldest tower and furthermore one of the tallest structures in the nation, clearly visible from a great distance. Without uncertainty, it is a standout amongst the most visited milestones in the city. The simple sight of this sublime milestone influences you to disregard any possible anxieties of life and quiets you from inside. The view is genuinely supernatural and delightful.
