ضريح المعتمد بن عباد Al Mutamid ibn Abbad

Reviews

Salahaddine Mouaddib (11/11/2019)

This place is full of history. It's the intersection of the power of the Almoravides dynasty that ruled Morocco on the 11 th century and the Andalusian civilization. Al Mutamid was a king of Sevilla in Spain and was imprisoned by Yusef Ibn Tachfine the king of Morocco. But if you go there , see the archeological site of Aghmat. This city was known even before the arrival of the Muslims. It was the first entry after the high atlas of trade caravans coming from Africa and Sahara. Before going there read a bit about the history of Aghmat, of the Almoravide dynasty, and most important about Zaynab ! This woman was born in Aghmat and lived under 2 dynasties (Idrisside and Almoravide), married 2 princes and 2 kings ! She was the initiator of the idea of building a new city: Marrakech. The whole place is 40 mn from Marrakech and really worth seeing. You better have somebody who speaks Arabic that can translate from the local guardians of these sites.

[6] He was born in Beja (a province in present-day Portugal), and succeeded his father in the rule of Seville when he was thirty years old, then expanded his possession, seizing Valencia, Murcia and Cordoba, and became one of the most powerful kings of the sects, so the other princes took him gifts and paid him taxes. His poet Abu Bakr Ibn al-Labanah claimed that he owned 200 cities and fortresses in Andalusia, and that he gave birth to 173 children. [7]
