It was built by the Merinid Sultan Abu Yaâcoub Youssef at the end of the 13th century, in 1298. Its minaret, 24 meters high, was erected a little later, in 1317. It is a beautiful representation of Arab-Andalusian architecture with finely carved woodwork and mosaic tiles. Outside, don't miss the three fountains with colorful faience tiles, predominantly blue, topped with a green glazed tile roof. The Merinid Medersa: This Quranic school, located not far from Jamaa Al Kebir, dates back to the 14th century and is still in use seven centuries after its construction. Even today, students come to learn the Quran, just like in the past. It remains an example of Merinid art. Dar Sebti House: This residence is a true little palace built in the 1930s by Abdellatif Sebti, a wealthy merchant from Fes.

It is located opposite the Lalla Meriem Park. Saint-Louis d’Anjou Church: Oujda has a large church.
