Bab Doukkala Grand Mosque
Marrakech ⵎⵕⵕⴰⴽⵯⵛ مراكش, Italy
The Bab Doukkala Mosque (Arabic: مسجد باب دكالة) or Mosque of Bab Doukkala is a mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco. It is named after the nearby western city gate, Bab Doukkala. It was built in the 16th century during the Saadian period. It is also known as the al-Hurra Mosque ("Mosque of the Free One"),
in reference to its founder, Massa'uda al-Wizkitiya. Like the contemporary Mouassine Mosque to the southeast, it was built as a Friday mosque for what was a newly redevelopped neighbourhood at the time. It formed the main element in a larger religious-charitable complex that also included a madrasa, a hammam, a library, a fountain, and more.
