Andalusian Mosque

 

The Andalusian Mosque was built in (859-860) in the Andalusian neighbourhood in the «Adouat Al Andalous» area by Meryem Al Fihria, the sister of Fatima Al Fihria. The mosque, which used to be a mere oratory, has undergone many changes over the time. In 956, a minaret was added, a copy of its rival Al Qaraouiyine. 

Between 1203 and 1207, it was almost entirely rebuilt by the Almohad sultan, and was enriched with a fountain (1306) and a library. You can access to it past the Chouaara tanneries or Bab Ftouh. From the Andalusian mosque, you can get to the Sidi Bou Ghaleb mausoleum.
