Tinmal Mosque is a historic mosque located in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The mosque was founded in the 12th century by Ibn Tumart, the spiritual leader of the Almohad movement, which ruled over North Africa and Spain during the 12th and 13th centuries.
Tinmal Mosque is considered a significant historical and architectural monument, representing the Almohad dynasty's unique style of architecture. The mosque is constructed entirely out of red clay and is characterized by its ribbed vaulting, horseshoe arches, and intricate geometric patterns. The mosque's mihrab, or prayer niche, is adorned with colorful tiles and calligraphy, creating a visually striking centerpiece.
While Tinmal Mosque is no longer an active religious site, it remains an important cultural landmark for Morocco and attracts visitors from around the world who are interested in Islamic history and architecture. It has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
