The world-famous 12th-century Tinmal Mosque in the High Atlas mountains was among the ancient heritage sites decimated by the Morocco earthquake, as seen in footage from Tuesday.
Footage shows extensive damage to the outside of the mosque, with piles of rubble around the site. The epicentre of Friday's quake was in the mountain range itself, around 72 km southwest of Marrakech.
The Tinmal mosque was built in 12th century and added to a list of potential UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1995.
Other heavily damaged ancient buildings can also be seen; one is shown with a huge crack running across half of its front facade. Locals can be seen camping out in makeshift tents.
According to the latest estimate by the authorities, the death toll across the country has passed 2,800, with many of those killed in the rural communities.
