Where to sleep in Marrakech? |
| The Almoravide Koubba is the unique architectural witness of the Almoravide era... |
Located in the heart of the medina of Marrakech next to Ben Youssef mosque, the Koubba was buried until 1948, and it is following archaeological excavations that it was discovered.
The Almoravide Koubba which depended on a close mosque was intended for ablutions. This monument is presented in the form of a sumptuous cupola built at the top of a rectangular basin girdled by the vestiges of small cells which were used as latrines. |
