in Tlemcen, Algeria, is a revered Islamic compound with a long history that is devoted to the well-known Sufi saint Abu Madyan. Seville-born Abu Madyan made significant contributions to the growth of tasawwuf in the Maghreb region.

The complex includes a mosque, tomb, madrasa, and hamam, among other religious structures. The mosque’s main entryway is comparable to that of other Moorish buildings from Cordoba to Kairouan. The gallery of plaster paintings is accessible from the entrance. The dome has muqarnas on its top. It goes on to the stairs that mirror those at Toledo’s Puerta del Sol. The bronze-decorated wooden doors open to a prayer hall and sahn with a fountain in the center that is flanked by passageways.
