Hassan Mosque and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V
The Hassan Mosque, commissioned in 1184 by the Almohad Caliph Yaacoub El Mansour upon his accession, embodies the monumental ambition of the Almohad polity. Conceived as what would have been the largest mosque of the western Mediterranean, the complex remained unfinished following the cessation of works. More than eight centuries later, in 1961, the historic platform of the Hassan Mosque was reinvested with new symbolic meaning through the construction of the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, creating a singular ensemble where Almohad heritage and modern national commemorative architecture intersect.
