Hassan II Mosqueis a mosque located in Casablanca (Morocco). Built partly on the sea, it is a religious and cultural complex, built on nine hectares.The prayer hall can accommodate 25,000 faithful. The Hassan II mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world.

The construction of the mosque began in 1986 and was completed in 1993. This was four years over the due date, which was meant to be in 1989 on King Hassan II’s 60th birthday.

There are many mosques in Morocco most of which are closed off to people who are not of the Muslim faith. The Hassan II Mosque differs in that way, allowing visitors of all faiths the opportunity to come in and view the inside of the building.
