founded in the 11th century, it has been inhabited by the Berber farmers since
the Neolithic period. Many mosques and other Islamic structures were built in
the city with Andalusian architecture during the rule of Almoravid dynasty,
which had founded Marrakech. The city's red walls and several buildings were
built using red sandstone during the rule of the Almoravid king, Ali ibn Yusuf.
