The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is large. The minaret is 210 meters high, making it the tallest structure in Morocco. It is true that 210 meters is high. But it is not so high when you consider the height of buildings. In Japan alone, there are many buildings taller than the minaret. Morocco probably has no skyscrapers.

Although not so tall compared to other buildings in the world, the Hassan II Mosque is quite large for a mosque. The doors of such a large mosque are also huge. The door itself may not look that big, but when a man appears in front of it, the size of the door is quite impressive.

I was curious to know what kind of world spreads beyond the door, which is so big that it makes the man who appears in front of it look small, but unfortunately, pagans are not allowed to enter mosques in Morocco. As a pagan, I could only look at it from the outside.
