Qoubba Ba'adiyin
Description
The Qoubba Ba'adiyin, in front of the Ben Youssef Mosque, originally served as ablution room of the mosque. It is the oldest monument in Marrakech, built by the Almoravids in the 12th Century. It was the only Almoravid building to avoid destruction during the Almohad reign. Discovered by archaeologists in the late '40s, this little monument charms with the beauty of its uniquely-shaped arches.
