The Hassan II Mosque
(Arabic: مسجد الحسن الثاني, French: Grande
Mosquée Hassan II) is a mosque in
Casablanca, Morocco - Africa.
Its minaret is the world's tallest minaret
at 210 metres (689 ft).
The minaret is 60 stories high topped
by a laser, the light from which is directed
towards Mecca. The mosque stands
on a promontory looking out to the
Atlantic Ocean; worshipers can pray
over the sea but there is no glass
floor looking into the sea.
The walls are of hand-crafted marble
and the roof is retractable.
A maximum of 105,000 worshipers
can gather together for prayer:
25,000 inside the mosque hall and
another 80,000 on the mosque's
outside ground.
The building was commissioned by
King Hassan II to be the most ambitious
structure ever built in Morocco.
Work commenced on 1986, and was
conducted over a 7 year period.
During the most intense period of
construction, 1400 men worked
during the day and another 1100
during the night. 10,000 artists
and craftsmen participated
in building and beautifying the mosque.
The decorations in the hall are
elaborate and exquisite made
possible by involving
6000 master artisans of Morocco
working on it. It is so large that it
can easily accommodate the house
of the Notre Dame of Paris
or St Peter's of Rome.
Casablanca is Morocco's chief port
and one of the largest financial
centers on the continent. According
to the 2014 population estimate,
the city has a population of
about 3.3 million in the urban
area and over 6.8 million in
the Casablanca-Settat region.
