Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca



This is the interior of the Hassan II mosque. Made from marble and stone from the Atlas mountains, it's roof is made of exquisitely painted cedar wood. The roof completely retracts to let in the light on special prayer days when the prayer hall is filled with 25000 people. The women pray seperately on the raised balcony. The marble floors are heated in winters.
