An unused mosque built by the Spanish in the 1920s on a hill overlooking the entire blue city. The 20-minute hike from Bab al-Ansar rewards you with the best panoramic view of Chefchaouen and the Rif Mountains in the background. The perfect spot for a magical sunset.
1-2 hours before sunset for golden hour photography and watching the city lights turn on as dusk falls.

The Spanish built it during the Protectorate (1920s) but locals refused to use it as it was built by foreigners. It has remained empty since and is now a tourist landmark.
