The Sentissi Mosque wasbuilt in 1939 by a local man after his return from the hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. It has the only cylindrical minaret in Morocco.The minaret is covered in a background of green tiles with white Kufic-style Arabic letters spelling out a surah from the Qur'an. The mosque is now a Qur'anic school (madrasa), and is also referred to as the Medersa Idriss. The holy town of Moulay Idriss was where Moulay Idriss I arrived in 789, bringing with him the religion of Islam, and starting a new dynasty. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
