[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Hassan II Mosque is the second largest in the world (after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca). Designed by the French architect Michel Pinseau. It stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass floor with room for 25,000 worshippers. A further 80,000 can be accommodated in the mosque's courtyard. Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 metres.
