Old Mosque of Ain Chock

The Old Mosque of Ain Chock (Mosquée Ancienne d'Aïn Chock) is one of the largest mosques in Casablanca, second only to the Hassan II Mosque in capacity. It was designed by the French architect Edmond Brion and the design was completed in 1945 CE. Located in the populous Ain Chock neighborhood, the mosque's architecture reflects the Neo-Moorish style, adapted for a large urban community setting. It serves as a major religious and social center for the district.
