Kasbah of the Udayas

The Kasbah of the Udayas is a kasbah in Rabat, Morocco. It is situated at the mouth of the Bou Regreg waterway inverse Sale. The building was worked in the twelfth century amid the rule of the Almohad Caliphate AD 1121-1269. At the point when the Almohads had caught Rabat and demolished the kasbah of the Almoravid tradition in the town, they started recreating it in AH 544/AD 1150. They included a royal residence and a mosque and named it al-Mahdiyya, after their predecessor al-Mahdi Ibn Tumart. After the passing of Yaqub al-Mansur AH 595/AD 1199, the kasbah was deserted.

The Almohads conveyed noteworthy changes to the Rabat territory, including the annihilation and remaking of the Kasbah of the Udayas and transforming Chellah into an illustrious necropolis.
