The Almoravid minbar from the Kutubiyya Mosque, on display at the El-Badi Palace in Marrakesh today.
The Minbar of the Kutubiyya Mosque is a minbar (Arabic: منبر; a mosque furnishing similar to a pulpit) produced in Cordoba, Spain (al-Andalus at the time), in the early 12th century by order of the Almoravid amir Ali ibn Yusuf. The minbar was commissioned for the main mosque of Marrakesh, the Almoravid capital in Morocco. After the Almohad conquest of Marrakesh in 1147, the minbar was moved to the new Kutubiyya Mosque built by Abd al-Mu'min. It remained there until 1962, when it was moved into storage and then to the El Badi Palace for public display, where it remains today. Made primarily of wood and decorated with a variety of techniques, the minbar is considered one of the high points of Moorish, Moroccan, and Islamic art.[1][2][3][4] It was enormously influential in the design of subsequent minbars produced across Morocco and the surrounding region.[1][3]
