# Al-Mohammadi Mosque

Al-Mohammadi Mosque (Arabic: مسجد المحمدي) is a large mosque in the Habous quarter of Casablanca, Morocco. It was built circa 1935 and its construction was sponsored by Sultan Mohammed V, after whom it is named.

Construction on the mosque started on 29 June 1934 and it was officially inaugurated two years later. It was designed by architects August Cadet [fr] and Edmond Brion, who were also implicated in the design of other buildings in the Habous quarter, including the nearby al-Yusufi Mosque. The building's design references traditional Moroccan Islamic architecture, with some details inspired by the architecture of the Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fes. It covers an area of around 3,600 $m^2$ (39,000 sq ft) and it can accommodate up to 6000 or 8000 worshippers. The mosque underwent a major restoration in 2007.
