The C12th, 77m-high minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque on the E side of Abd el Moumen Square, Marrakesh, Morocco. Started in 1158 by the first Almohade sultan Abd el Mumene, completed in 1190 by his grandson Yacoub el Mansour. The square lantern at the top of the minaret supports a dome topped by three gold balls, reputedly given by the wife of the Sultan as a penance for failing to observe three of the 29-30 days of Ramadan. The mosque is one of the largest in Africa caplabe of holding over 20, 000 people. It also functioned as a university, koranic school & library as well as a mosque. The name comes from Kutubiyin, booksellers whose many shops sprang up around the mosque. The pink stone is carved with tracery patterns to emphasise the window openings.
