Mosquée Assounna, Rabat

Mosquée Assounna is located on Avenue Moulay Hassan and is, at the moment, the biggest mosque in Rabat. It was first built by Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah in the 18th century. It was later renovated several times. During the reign of King Hassan II, the minaret of the Mosquée Sounna was moved stone by stone from the northern part to the southern part of the mosque. The mosque has a neo-Moorish architectural style.
