Built in the 15th century, the Grand Mosque of Chefchaouen stands as a prominent landmark in the heart of the city. Its octagonal minaret rises above the surrounding rooftops, and staircases lead up to its entrance from Place Outa el Hammam. Unlike the rest of Chefchaouen, known for its blue-painted buildings, the mosque features a more modest palette of white and earthen brown. Visitors can explore the architectural details and historical significance of this central site, which offers a unique contrast to the vibrant hues of the city.
