The Koutoubia Mosque (Arabic: جامع الكتبية) is the largest mosque in Marrakech, Morocco. The minaret was completed under the reign of the Almohad Caliph Yacoub el-Mansour (1184-1199) and was used as model for Giralda of Seville then for the Hassan Tower of Rabat. The name is derived from the Arabic al-Koutoubiyyin for librarian, since it used to be surrounded by sellers of manuscripts. It is considered the ultimate structure of its kind. The tower is 69 m (221 ft) in height and has a lateral length of 12.8 m (41 ft). Six rooms (one above the other) constitute the interior; leading around them is a ramp by way of which the muezzin could ride up to the balcony. It is built in a traditional Almohad style and the tower is adorned with four copper globes. According to legend, they were originally made of pure gold, and there were once supposed to have been only three. The fourth was donated by the wife of Yacoub el-Mansour as compensation for her failure to keep the fast for one day during the month of Ramadan. She had her golden jewelry melted down to fashion the fourth globe.

Call to prayer from Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco

Tags: Call To Prayer Koutoubia Mosque Marrakesh Morocco

A clip of the "call to prayer" being broadcast from mosques in Marrakesh, Morocco. At first, the calls are quiet. You can hear calls coming from several mosques around the city simultaneously while birds sing and I pan around to show rooftops of the city. Stick with the video until 30 secs in, when the massive Koutoubia Mosque starts calling much louder than the others (that's the pretty minaret visible in the video). This video was taken from the rooftop of our hotel just minutes after our arrival. For foreigners like us, it was quite an amazing thing to witness. The call to prayer is sung five times a day, when Muslims should briefly stop to pray from wherever they are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_to_prayer
