The Mohammed VI Center for Dialogue of Civilizations, also known as the Mohammed VI Mosque, is located in the city of Coquimbo, Chile. Designed as a replica of the Kutubiyya Mosque in Marrakesh, the structure was part of a cultural initiative funded jointly by the Kingdom of Morocco and the municipality of Coquimbo. Named in honor of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, the mosque serves as a prominent symbol of intercultural dialogue.
Construction began in 2004 under the direction of Moroccan architect Faissal Cherradi and was completed in 2007. Spanning approximately 2,000 square meters, the complex includes a cultural center, a library, a museum, and a 40-meter-high minaret. It attracts around 25,000 visitors each year, functioning not only as a place of worship but also as a vibrant hub for cultural exchange.
