The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco, stands as one of the world's largest mosques and an architectural marvel of the late 20th century. Its minaret, rising 210 meters, is the tallest religious structure in the world and features a laser directed toward Mecca at night.

Pattern description
This 150×150 counted cross-stitch pattern captures the Hassan II Mosque with a serene palette of cool blues, teals, and soft whites against water. The composition centers on the mosque's iconic minaret rising above the main structure, rendered in gentle shades that evoke the Atlantic shoreline where this Casablanca landmark sits.
Stitched across 30 DMC thread colors at intermediate skill level, the design offers a meditative needlework experience without overwhelming complexity. The soft color transitions between sky and sea create visual depth, while the architectural detail rewards careful attention to placement. This piece works beautifully as a framed accent for a home library or meditation space, and the cool palette complements modern or minimalist interiors.
