Moulay Youssef Mosque

The Moulay Youssef Mosque (Mosquée Moulay Youssef) is a prominent religious building located in the planned Habous Quarter (Nouvelle Médina). It was designed by the French architectural duo Auguste Cadet and Edmond Brion and completed in 1923. The mosque is named after Sultan Moulay Youssef, who reigned during the early Protectorate. Its architecture is a key example of the French-designed Neo-Moorish style, featuring traditional materials and craftsmanship applied to a modern, orderly layout. It remains an active place of worship and a central feature of the Habous Quarter.
