(Moulay al-Yasid Mosque)

 

 

The Kasbah Mosque was originally built by the Almohad ruler Yaqub al-Mansur in 1185–1190. It is located in the Kasbah district, the city's former citadel, near the site of its historic royal palaces. Along with the Koutoubia Mosque, it is one of the most important historic mosques in Marrakesh. Construction of the mosque was probably begun around 1185 and finished by 1190 , at the apogee of the Almohad Empire.
