The Chrabliyine Mosque features a minaret decorated with intricate, interlocking geometric tilework in shades of emerald and white. Built in the fourteenth century under the Marinid dynasty, it served the neighborhood of the slipper makers. Legend holds that a wealthy merchant funded its construction after a public dispute over the quality of leather sold in the nearby markets. While the original structure underwent various renovations over the centuries, the minaret remains a distinct example of the era's craftsmanship in the heart of Fes.
