Grand Mosque Chefchaouen

Grande Mosque, Chefchaouen Overview

The Grand Mosque of Chefchaouen is the town’s oldest Islamic worship place and the principal mosque for Friday namaz congregations. Located at the central Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the clay red and brown shades of the Grand Mosque set it apart from the usual blue and white of Chefchaouen. The interiors are closed to non-Muslim visitors, but they can admire the structure's facade from the outside.

Sprawled over 130 square metres, the mosque follows Andalusian and Arabic architecture styles with a large courtyard, a prayer hall, a tower or minaret, a madrasa school, and ablutions or cleansing chambers. The octagonal minaret that towers over the city’s medina makes the mosque stand out.
