Grand Mosque Chefchaouen

The octagonal minaret of the Grand Mosque of Chefchaouen is the architectural anomaly that no one fully explains — the only octagonal minaret in Morocco, in a country where square minarets are the rule. Built in the 15th century by the city's founder, it rises above Place Outa el-Hammam as a reminder that Chefchaouen has always done things slightly differently.
