♦️The city of Taroudant.

This city also known as, “little Marrakesh” is known to be one of the oldest cities in Morocco with much rich history and heritage.

Under the rule of the Almoravids (also known famously in Arabic as, al-Murātibūn), the state with its territory stretching from Al-Andalus to southern Morocco, briefly helped made the city of Tarodant become a place of administration.

The Amīr, Yoūsef Ibn Tashfīn who unified the Muslims in Al-Andalus helped established this city with its construction and it’s architectural land.
