Al-Quds Mosque (Casablanca)
Al-Quds Mosque, formerly Église de Sainte Marguerite, is a mosque in the Roches Noires neighborhood of Casablanca, Morocco. It was originally built as a church built in a Neo-Gothic style, but it was converted into a mosque after Morocco's independence.History
The Church of Saint Margaret was built by a Frenchman named Eugène Lendrat—the founder of the Roches Noires neighborhood—in 1920, copying a church called Église Saint-Martin de Pau, built in 1860 by Émile Boeswillwald in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
