La Grande Mosquée d’Asilah, (fin XVII) voulue par Moulay Ismail après la reconquête de la ville, fut édifiée sur le site d’une église portugaise. Le mur d'enceinte du complexe est couronné de merlons triangulaires. Le minaret à plan octogonal est semblable à celui des mosquées érigées par Ahmed Al Rifi à Tanger, Tétouan et Chefchaouen. La décoration du minaret est assez simple et masquée par plusieurs couches de chaux. Elle est constituée d’une série d’arcatures aveugles polylobées semi-circulaires et brisées à claveaux alternés. Le couronnement est à merlons triangulaires et la lanterne est de dimension réduite.

La mosquée et le pavillon des invités sont les deux bâtiments rouges de part et d'autres du mausolée du Taj Mahal. Ils sont censés être totalement identiques, pour une question de symétrie, mais en réalité ils diffèrent légèrement l'un de l'autre. Les deux sont sur le "Chameli Farsh", c'est le nom qu'on donne à la terasse à 9m de hauteur qu'il y a au bout du complexe du Taj Mahal et qui contient, outre le mausolée, la mosquée et le pavillon des invités, deux bassins remplis d'eau, entre les bâtiments annexes et le bâtiment principal.
This image was inspired by the majestic Great Mosque of Xi'an in a vibrant, whimsical Asian mountainscape, teeming with exotic flowers, winding pathways, and ancient trees. The scene is set at dusk, with warm, golden light casting long shadows across the intricately tiled mosque, as the surrounding mountains are painted with hues of sapphire, amethyst, and rose. The atmosphere is mystical, with a sense of ancient history and wonder.
