MOROCCO: Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque

Casablanca has been immortalized by the movie with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. 

There are the famous lines we've all heard, such as "Here's looking at you, kid," "We'll always have Paris" and, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

But Casablanca is also famous for its more recent Hassan II mosque.

Completed in 1993 after 6 years of construction, and delays, the Hassan II mosque is the largest functioning mosque in Africa and is the 3rd largest in the world.
