Andalusian Mosque
- Address: Rue Nekhaline, Fez
- Category: Religious Sites
- Location: Fez
Fodor's Review:
This mosque was built in AD 859 by Myriam, sister of the Fatima who had erected the Kairaouine Mosque on the river's other side two years earlier. The gate was built by the Almohads in the 12th century. The detailed wood carvings in the eaves, which bear a striking resemblance to those in the Fondouk Nejjarine, are the main thing to see here, as the mosque itself is set back and elevated, making it hard to examine from outside.
