Nedroma

Nedroma lies in the mountains of western Algeria, between Tlemcen and the Mediterranean coast. Its Great Mosque is an example of Almoravid religious architecture, with a courtyard and prayer hall. A minaret was added in 1348, as recorded by an inscription. The town endured conflict among the powers of the Maghreb; the Marinid ruler Abu al-Hasan besieged it in 1335 during his campaign in the region.
