Mohammed VI Mosque (Mohammed VI Center for Dialogue of Civilizations)

Information

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.
