Kairaouine Mosque MOSQUE
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
The Kairaouine Mosque is Fez's true heart. Built in 859 by refugees from Tunisia, and re-
built in the 12th century, it can accommodate up to 20,000 people at prayer. Non-Muslims
have to be content with glimpses of its seemingly endless columns from the gates on Talaa
Kebira and Place as-Seffarine.
