- Step into history as you admire the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, a masterpiece of 12th-century Moorish architecture. Its 70-meter-tall minaret has been a beacon for travelers for centuries. While non-Muslims cannot enter the mosque, you’ll stroll through its serene gardens, where your guide will unveil the secrets of Islamic architecture, the Five Pillars of Islam, and local worship traditions.

Learn about the square’s fascinating history—from medieval chronicles to its role as a hub of public life since the 12th century.
