About Koutoubia Mosque
La Koutoubia Mosque es la mezquita más grande de Marrakech. Su alminar, que se eleva 77 metros sobre la ciudad, marca el horizonte urbano como ningún otro edificio. Concluida en 1158 bajo el califa almohade Yaqub al-Mansur, sirvió de modelo para construcciones posteriores como la Giralda de Sevilla. Se encuentra justo al suroeste de la plaza Jemaa el-Fna. Los visitantes no musulmanes no pueden acceder a la sala de oración, aunque sí pueden contemplar la arquitectura exterior y recorrer los jardines que la rodean.
