    (Translated by Google) It is an architectural success, located on the main square of the city. The Great Mosque is indeed a true work of art, built in stones, marble, plaster, mosaic and wood in 1136 by Ali Benyoussef, a Berber Caliph of the Almorvid dynasty. His minaret was completed in 1236 by Yaghmoracen Ibn Zian of the Zianid dynasty. This great mosque encompasses with its large area; A courtyard and a prayer room composed of several vaults and a large dome all equally beautiful. The main carved door leads to the main square, but there is another exit overlooking a street that ends on a big market called the Medress. I think it should absolutely visit. It is a place of art and essential stories. So, I highly recommend it (Original) C'est une réussite architecturale , située sur la grande place de la ville . La grande mosquée est en effet une véritable oeuvre d'art , construite en pierres ,en marbre, en plâtre , en mosaïque et en bois en 1136 par Ali benyoussef , un Calife berbère de la dynastie des Almorvides .Son minaret fut achevé en 1236 par Yaghmoracen Ibn Zian de la dynastie des Zianides . Cette grande mosquée englobe avec sa grande superficie ; Une cour et une salle de prière composée de plusieures voûtes ainsi qu'une grande coupole toutes aussi belles les unes que les autres .la porte sculptée principale donne sur la grande place , mais il existe une autre sortie donnant sur une rue qui aboutie sur un grand marché qu'on appelle le Medress . Je pense, qu'il faudrait absolument le visiter. C'est un lieu d'art et d'histoires incontournable . Donc , je le recommande vivement

    (Translated by Google) The Grand Mosque of Tlemcen is one of three mosques built by the Almoravids in Algeria, namely the Algiers Mosque and the Ndroma Mosque. The Grand Mosque of Tlemcen, similar to the other Murabitian mosques, is organized in a design that adopts orthogonal tiles with the qibla wall and a rectangular dish, surrounded by arches on the small sides. It is the first Maghreb model of religious architecture. The original plan (which did not contain the two new galleries leading the minaret) is a rectangle, cut in a triangular area in its northwestern part. The total length is approximately 55 meters and slightly below this measurement. (Original) الجامع الكبير لتلمسان هي واحد من ثلاثة مساجد بناها المرابطون في الجزائر وهما مسجد الجزائر ومسجد ندرومة. ينتظم جامع تلمسان الكبير، على شاكلة الجوامع المرابطية الأخرى، في تصميم يعتمد البلاطات المتعامدة مع حائط القبلة، وصحن مستطيل الشكل، محاط بأروقة على الجانبين الصغيرين؛ ويمثّل النموذج المغاربي الأول للعمارة الدينيّة. إنّ المخطّط الأصلي (الذي لم يكن يحتوي على الرواقين الجديدين الذين يتقدمان المئذنة) عبارة عن مستطيل، مقطوع بمساحة مثلّثة في جزئه الشمالي الغربي. يقارب طول المجموع 55 متراً وعرضُه أقلّ من هذا القياس بقليل.

    The Great Mosque of Tlemcen is a shining example of the splendor of design and decoration and is one of the most important and most beautiful monuments left from past eras, which is preferred to be visited during tourism in Algeria. The mosque was built under the leadership of Sultan Yusuf bin Tashfin in 1082 AD, then his son Ali bin Yusuf bin Tashfin succeeded him, who added to the mosque many decorations that made it unique. The ribs, a shape made famous in Islamic architecture by the Almoravids.

    The Great Mosque of Tlemcen (Arabic: الجامع الكبير لتلمسان‎, el-Jemaa el-Kebir litilimcen) was first built in Tlemcen, Algeria in 1082.It is one of the best preserved examples of the Almoravid dynasty's architecture. It was built under sultan Yusuf ibn Tashfin, but substantially reconstructed and enlarged by his son Ali ibn Yusuf. An inscription dates this reconstruction to 1136. Sultan Yaghmoracen (1236-1283), the founder of the Abdalwadid dynasty of Tlemcen added a section with a minaret and a dome in the 13th century. Next to the mosque there used to be an Islamic court (Makhama) and an Islamic university of considerable fame.

Those who pray alone have only one degree. In addition, cleaning mosques from the dirt and dirt is a dowry for the eye. Great (Original) الجماع الكبير من أقدم المساجد في ولاية تلمسان ولكن إعلم أخي المسلم أن خير البقاع عند الله المساجد وأفضل الناس هم عمار المساجد ، قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، بيوتي في الأرض المساجد وعمارها زواري وحق على المزور إكرام زائره، أي حق على الله إكرام المسلم الزائر له في بيته ، لهذا جعل الله 27 درجة لمن يصلي في مسجد مع الجماعة ، أما الذي يصلي لوحده فليس له إلا درجة واحدة ، إضافة إلى ذلك أن تنظيف المساجد من القذى والأوساخ هو مهر للحور العين فاجتهدوا في ذلك أحبابي واغتنموا الصلاة في المساجد لتفوزوا بهذا الأجر العظيم
