This mosque is one of the few that can be visited in Morocco by non-Muslims. Its history is linked to that of the tiny town of Tinmel, which in the 12th and 13th centuries became the cradle of the Almohad dynasty.

From this small village in the N'fis valley, unknown until the end of the 11th century, set out the Almohad conquerors, led by the spiritual guide Ibn Toumert then by the great conqueror Abd al-Moumen Ibn Ali, to conquer from Morocco.

After the capture of Marrakech in 1147, Tinmel became the spiritual capital of the new empire. This is when the mosque was built. The deep silence of the mountain and the beauty of the place agree with the spiritual spirit of this religious building.

Inspired by Andalusian-Maghreb architecture, the mosque of Tinmel, of modest dimensions, is characterized by its structure, the balance of the elements and its floral decoration.
