Kasbah of les Oudaya Rabat
ALMOHAD DYNASTY ( 1145-1248)
The Almohads won over the Almoravid dynasty in conquering Morocco. Guided at first by Îbn Toumert, the Almohads declared war against the Almoravids under religious pretext. Their Arabic name, implying the uniqueness “Attawhid”, was the object of their proclamation. The architecture and culture – the two key pillars of this dynasty – are still embeded in the emblematic monuments of the city of Marrakech, the Almohad capital, through the redesign of the Koutoubia mosque, whose architecture is inspired from Giralda in Seville. The Almohad dynasty reigned thus for half a century and faded away following a defeat against the Christians in 1212.
