Bab Doukkala Mosque
Bab Doukkala Mosque, also known as al-Hurra Mosque, is a historical mosque located in Marrakech, Morocco. It was built between 1557-1571 AD by Lalla Masuda (Mas'uda al-Wizkitiya), the mother of the Saadi sultans Ahmad al-Mansur and Abd al-Malik I. The mosque was completed in 1571 during the reign of Sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib, and was named after the nearby Bab Doukkala.
