Tinmel Mosque Tinmel is a small mountain #village in the #High Atlas 100 km from Marrakesh, #Morocco. Tinmel was the cradle of the Berber Almohad empire, from where the Almohads started their military campaigns against the Almoravids in the early 12th century. With the seizure of #Marrakesh in 1147, Tin Mal became the spiritual capital and the artistic centre of the Almohad Caliphate. The village is home to the tombs of the Almohad rulers. In Tin Mal the Almohad dirham, symbol of its economic prosperity, was struck The TinMel Mosque is a #mosque located in the High Atlas mountains of North Africa. In AH 548 / AD 1154, 'Abd al-Mu'min, the first Almohad king, had a Friday mosque built in the village of Tinmel, the final resting place of the dynasty's spiritual guide. This small mosque consists of a courtyard with two galleries and a nine-nave prayer room. The cupolas of the mihrab and the side corners are covered with muqarnas, some of the oldest in the #Muslim West. The decoration is predominantly geometric and floral, and the minaret rises above the mihrab. The mosque continued to be venerated after it fell into ruin, and was recently restored, making extensive use of the original building materials. 👉Follow us and tag yourself if you are interested in sharing your most perfect pictures of our beautiful country @moroccofriendlytravel Credit:® @hafiidii.omaar @walidtighazoui. ➡📲⬇💯➡📲⬇ 👇👇WEBSITE👇👇 https://smart.bio/moroccofriendlytravel.com 👇FACEBOOK 👇 https://web.facebook.com/moroccofriendlytravel/ . . . #Travelphotography #travelphotographer #travelphotograph #travelphotographyoftheday #travelphotographie #travelphotographers #traveler #traveller #travellers #travelphotographyguide #travel #Travelgram #traveling #travelling #travelblogger #hktraveller #hktraveler #travelingram #traveltheworld #travelblog #travels #traveladdict #northafrica
