The Almohads, under the leadership of Abd al-Mu'min, supplanted the Almoravids, ushering in an era of religious and political centralization.
Renowned for their militant expansionism and commitment to theological orthodoxy, the Almohads imposed strict doctrinal conformity and initiated extensive architectural projects.
The construction of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech and the Giralda in Seville epitomizes the Almohad architectural style, characterized by intricate geometric patterns and grandiose minarets.
