This is the only round minaret in Morocco, a design highly uncommon throughout the rest of the Muslim world, too. Its geometrical decorations are texts in Arabic, reading out a sura from the Koran.
The minaret was added to the far more ancient Idriss Medersa, a Koran school, in 1939. It was built by a wealthy hajji who had seen a similar structure on his travels to Mecca.
