Stand in reverence of the artistry and scale of Koutoubia Mosque, constructed during the 12th century CE. The mosque includes a large courtyard and gardens, while the main sandstone and brick represents the traditional Almohad style, with minimal decorations taking the form of geometrical holes and inscriptions. The towering minaret stands 77 m (253 ft) tall, with a spire of gilded copper balls. You can plan Marrakech trip in no time by asking Inspirock to help create your itinerary.

Nice monument to visit during the day, beautiful architecture and nice parks and gardens nearby to be enthralled by. The parks are very well maintained and the streets are generally clean but didn't see any drinking fountains. Carry a hat, water and sunscreen, it can get very sunny even in winter.

Really enjoyed visiting here. While not as impressive as the one in Casablanca, this is a 12th century mosque so really impressive for its age. You can get some fantastic pictures if you wander around it, especially from the park just behind it. Well worth a visit.
