Built Where the Ocean Begins — Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca

from $29.99

The second largest mosque in Africa, Hassan II stands at the edge of the Atlantic — built partially over the sea, as if reaching toward Mecca across the water. The minaret rises 210 metres above Casablanca, the tallest in the world, its hand-carved zellige tilework and marble colonnades stretching across the seafront esplanade. Shot under a brooding Atlantic sky that makes every stone feel ancient and immovable.
