Description
The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech.
The tower is 69 m (221 ft) in height and has a lateral length of 12.8 m (41 ft).
Six rooms (one above the other) constitute the interior; leading around them is a ramp by way of which the muezzin could ride up to the balcony.
It is built in a traditional Almohad style and the tower is adorned with four copper globes.

Fantastic shot..so beautiful....
Marrakech is a place for magic and so its Koutoubia Mosque! Excellent, intense capture!
Excellent capture very beautiful!!!!
Très jolie carte postale. Est-ce qu'il y a toujours eu un aussi beau ciel? (On ne peut pas dire que nous avons été gâté en Belgique).
Sehr guter Blickwinkel! Fantastisches Foto!
Although it is done with flare and decoration, this shows a marvelous style of architecture. Nice straight lines and flattened decoration. Dignified in adornment. Not at all like other periods in different countries around the world that had lacy frills and statues and relief design and such pouring off every inch of its exterior surface. I really like this no-nonsense style.
cool shot
Fantastique! Belle vision du symbole de la ville!
Picture postcard perfect..
Beautiful. Excellent composition. When was it built?

Que dire devant ce splendide cliché... rien! Le cadrage est parfait, les teintes magnifiques, ha si... il ne manque que les odeurs et les sons! Donc "à revoir" Michel mais tu mérites tout de même un 20/20!;-)

Wonderful shot and composition, the light post is as beautiful as the tower! Loving this series!
