The Koutoubia Mosque is an absolute must-see and without doubt the most iconic landmark of Marrakech. Its stunning minaret rises above the city and can be seen from almost everywhere, serving as a point of reference while exploring the medina. Built in the 12th century, it is often called the “sister” of the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat, sharing the same architectural style and historical significance. Even though non-Muslims cannot enter, the exterior is impressive, especially at sunset when the minaret glows. Visiting this monument is essential to truly understand the character and spirit of Marrakech
