Chrabliyine Mosque

The Chrabliyine Mosque is a fourteenth-century Marinid mosque on the Talaa Kebira, one of the main thoroughfares of the Fes medina, taking its name from the makers of slippers whose workshops once clustered nearby. Its slender minaret, decorated with a green-tiled band and interlacing brickwork typical of the period, rises above the busy market street. The mosque was founded under a Marinid sultan and has served the surrounding artisan quarter for centuries. It is a fine example of the smaller neighbourhood mosques of the old city.
