Descripción del sitio
This small rectangular pavillion of stone, brick and cement has a large dome. Also known as a cupola, this seemingly insignificant building is rich in regional historical importance. It is the only complete building from the Almoravid period to survive intact in Morocco. This is the only place in Morocco that non-Muslims can see Almoravid-Andalusian decorative motifs in their original setting. According to the inscription, the Qubba was constructed in 1107 and was part of the ablutions complex of a grand mosque previously located on this site. The large dome is a uniqe structure with a carved stucco ceiling featuring a symmetrical floral motif. An inscription on the interior of the building is one of the oldest example of cursive script rather than angular Kufic script. Parker, Richard. A Practicle Guide To Islamic Monuments in Morocco.
