The Great Mosque of Salé
Salé, Morocco · built 1028
The Great Mosque of Salé (al-Jama' al-A'dam), also known as the Masjid al-Tal'a, is a historic mosque in Salé, Morocco. It is the main mosque of the old city. Covering an area of 5,070 m2 (54, 600 sq ft), it is the third-largest mosque in Morocco. A first mosque on this site may have been built between 1028 and 1030 CE. The current mosque was the result of a reconstruction and expansion by the Almohad ruler Yaqub al-Mansur in 1196. Further renovations in the 18th century gave the building its present-day appearance. It was severely damaged in the Bombardment of Salé of 1851 and was briefly closed during the French protectorate in Morocco.
