The Bab Berdieyinne Mosque, also spelled Bab El-Baradeiyin, stands in the old medina of Meknes, Morocco, within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built of rammed earth in the early 18th century on the orders of Khnata bent Bakkar, Morocco's first female minister, it takes its name from a nearby city gate. On 19 February 2010 its minaret collapsed during Friday prayers, killing at least 41 people.
