• Grand Mosque (Pass by)

  Chefchaouen's Grande Mosque, built in the 15th century, is an architectural marvel that stands out for its octagonal minaret. This feature, while not common in Moroccan mosques, reflects the influence of Andalusian architecture brought to the country by Muslim immigrants from Spain. The mosque is constructed from stone, and its brown and beige hues provide a striking contrast to the blue and white buildings in the vicinity. While visiting Chefchaouen, admiring the Grande Mosque is definitely one of the top things to do. However, it's important to note that non-Muslim visitors are not allowed to enter the mosque. Visitors are still able to appreciate the mosque's stunning exterior, which is often photographed by tourists. Overall, the Grande Mosque is an important historical and cultural landmark in Chefchaouen, showcasing the city's unique blend of Moroccan and Andalusian architectural styles.
