Located in the heart of Casablanca's Habous district, the Moulay Youssef Mosque, inaugurated in 1923 by Sultan Moulay Youssef, is an architectural masterpiece from the early 20th century. Inspired by Almoravid and Almohad architecture, it is distinguished by its quadrangular minaret, reminiscent of the Koutoubia Mosque. The Habous district, built during the French protectorate, combines Moroccan tradition and modernity, offering a peaceful and authentic setting in contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city center. Beyond its function as a place of worship, the mosque is a testament to Moroccan history and culture, attracting many visitors with its remarkable architecture and typical Islamic architectural elements. It is an architectural gem that continues to unite Casablanca's residents across generations.
