The mosque was built on the initiative of the then Crown Prince, now King Mohammed VI, and takes the name of his grandfather Mohammed V, who gave a historic address in Tangier in 1947. Funding came from Kuwait, and the square in front of the mosque was renamed Place du Koweit in acknowledgement. According to local tradition, a visiting Kuwaiti sheikh was displeased that the bell tower of the nearby Catholic cathedral dominated the skyline of this part of Tangier, and offered to finance a mosque whose minaret would rise above it. The mosque was completed in 1983.

Aus Wikipedia

The Mohammed V Mosque (Arabic: مسجد محمد الخامس) is a large mosque in Tangier, Morocco, completed in 1983.

It was erected on the initiative of then Crown Prince Mohammed of Morocco, now King Mohammed VI, and named after his grandfather Mohammed V who had given a historic address in Tangier in 1947.

Funding for the mosque's construction was provided from Kuwait, and acknowledged by the renaming of the square in front of the mosque as Place du Koweit. According to local lore, a visiting Kuwaiti sheikh had been displeased by the fact that the bell tower of the nearby Catholic Cathedral dominated the skyline of that part of Tangier, and offered financing so that a Muslim tower would surpass it. Be that as it may, the Mohammed V Mosque's minaret is the tallest in Tangier.

The mosque complex also includes the seat of the regional Ulama council, a theological institute and boarding school named after Ibn Atiyah al-Andalusi, the local delegation of the Moroccan Ministry of Habous & Islamic Affairs, and a library.
