Muhammadi Mosque

The Muhammadi Mosque (Mosquée Muhammadi), also known as the Mohammed Ben Youssef Mosque, is a grand historical mosque in the Habous Quarter, designed by French architects Auguste Cadet and Edmond Brion and built between 1934 and 1936 CE. It is named after Sultan Mohammed Ben Youssef (King Mohammed V), symbolizing his role as a spiritual and national leader. Recognized as one of Casablanca's largest mosques (second only to Hassan II Mosque in size), it is an exemplary work of the Neo-Moorish style, featuring monumental scale and traditional Moroccan decoration. It remains a major active religious center.
