After taking control of Al-Andalus in the Battle of Sagrajas, the Almoravids sent Muslim, Christian and Jewish artisans from Iberia to North Africa to work on monuments.
The Great Mosque in Algiers (c. 1097), the Great Mosque of Tlemcen (1136) and al-Qarawiyyin (1135) in Fes are important examples of Almoravid architecture.
The Almoravid Qubba is one of the few Almoravid monuments in Marrakesh surviving.
