Zellige tiles in geometric shapes on the walls of the patio, a large courtyard with peristyle and double columns, around a marble fountain, Grande Mosquee de Paris, designed by Robert Fournez, Maurice Mantout and Charles Heubes, built in Neo-Mudejar style 1922-26 and inaugurated in 1926, as a gesture of thanks to the muslim soldiers who fought in France's colonial troops during the First World War, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. Above the zellige tiles are tiles painted with Arabic script, tiles with a ziggurat design and intricately carved stucco work. The mosque is built from reinforced concrete, with wooden carvings and mosaics brought from Morocco. The religious spaces include the grand patio, prayer room and minaret, there is an Islamic school and library, and a cafe and hammam or Turkish baths. The mosque was renovated in 1992.
