Description The Koubba Ba'adiyn (also known as Koubba Almoravide).
Its beauty is hidden because the lower part of the building is a whole floor below street level and you might easily just walk past it.

It was built in the 12th century and hidden under rubble until 1948, which explains why it wasn't destroyed. It is the only intact example of Almoravid architecture in Morocco.

I love the shadows and light, the layers of textures and lines, the flow, the mood and emotion I feel when looking at this beautiful capture.
