The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco, is one of the largest mosques in the world and an architectural marvel. Completed in 1993, it stands prominently on the Atlantic coastline, with part of its structure extending over the ocean. Designed by French architect Michel Pinseau, the mosque features a 210-meter tall minaret, which is the tallest in Africa. The mosque's intricate design incorporates traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, with detailed mosaics, marble floors, and carved wooden ceilings. It can accommodate up to 25,000 worshippers inside and an additional 80,000 in the surrounding courtyards.
