Sidi Boumediene Mosque, located in Tlemcen, Algeria, is an important Islamic complex dedicated to the revered Sufi saint Abu Madyan, who played a key role in spreading Sufism in the Maghreb. Established in 1339 by the Marinid dynasty, the mosque is renowned for its striking architecture, featuring a blend of Moorish styles seen from Córdoba to Kairouan. The complex includes the mosque, a mausoleum, a madrasa, and a hammam, with its grand entrance leading to a gallery of intricate plasterwork and a prayer hall. The wooden doors, adorned with bronze, open into a central courtyard with a fountain, reflecting the serene and spiritual atmosphere of the site.

I can feel the ancient history of this place. It feels.. alive. It takes some effort to go there as the Mosque is located on top of a hill. Preferably a car. You can use Yassir or just get a cab. Beautiful place!

I cannot recommend this place enough. The guided tour for 400 DA is a very good way to see it. It is a little bit out of the way, but so worth it. Many parts of the mosque, mausoleum and the palace are original.
