Tin MalCradle of the Almohad Empire
This city in the High Atlas has its origins in the Almohad empire, which, at the height of its splendour, extended to the south of the Iberian Peninsula. It was considered a holy city in the 12th century, inspiring the building of an impressive mosque-fortress that turned it into a pilgramage centre of the time and a chosen retreat of the sultans. Today the mosque is in the process of restoration.
