Koutoubia Mosque

posted by shravyayampala on 16 July 2009 at 10:09

The red stone mosque was first built in 1147, but demolished and rebuilt in 1199 because it was not correctly aligned with Mecca. The landmark minaret is 221ft (69m) high and consists of six chambers one atop the other, ascended by a ramp through which the muezzin ascends to the top balcony. The Koutoubia Mosque, known as the 'mosque of the booksellers' because of the bazaar of the book traders that used to be nearby. It is really very busy place and many visitors come here to see this place. Inside the mosque there are thousands of rooms for prayer.
