Sidi Abdelkrim Mausoleum

The Sidi Abdelkrim Mausoleum is the final resting place of Sidi Abdelkrim Hashkouri Sahrawi, a respected Sufi figure who settled in Larache in the mid-19th century. Built by order of Pasha Ali Ben Mohamed Aztout, the structure is a notable example of Moroccan funerary architecture, characterized by its square plan, decorated dome (koubba), and a distinctive small minaret. It is located in the old medina, adjacent to the Anwar Mosque.
