About this work
Decoration of the upper facade of the minaret of the Mosque of Mansourah in Tlemcen, built during the siege of the city in 1303 by the Marinid dynasty. The minaret was one of the three tallest in the world at the time, standing at 49 meters, alongside the Giralda in Spain and the Koutoubia Mosque in Morocco, all inspired by the architecture of the minaret of Qal'at Bani Hammad.
