One of the main sights of Marrakech is the Koutoubia Mosque and its Minaret - an obvious landmark located just off Djemma el Fna. The minaret is the twin of the Giralda Tower in Seville, built when the Moors ruled Spain in the 12th century. Seen from all over the city, it is beautiful lit up at night and very atmospheric during a call to prayer.

Koutoubia Mosque: A great land mark

The mosque really is quite simple in design but has such a draw. From one side it overlooks a very busy road and the entrance to the Djemma el Fna square and on the other some very beautiful and peaceful gardens. The history is very interesting and well worth arranging to have a local guide walk you around this area, plus the square and souks as you learn so much more. It also provides a great landmark when you are walking up and down Mohamed V avenue.
