Marinid architecture

Marinid architecture corresponds to a period from the 13th to 15th centuries when the Marinid dynasty ruled over present-day Morocco and, intermittently, parts of present-day western Algeria. Within the wider tradition of western Islamic architecture, Marinid architecture developed from earlier Almohad architecture and is similar to architecture under their contemporary neighboring dynasties, the Nasrids in al-Andalus (present-day Spain) and the Zayyanids to the east (in present-day Algeria).
