Mosquée de Sidi Bou Merouane, 11th century mosque in Annaba, Algeria.
The mosque features seven naves perpendicular and parallel to each other, creating intersecting arches throughout the prayer hall interior.
The Mosquée de Sidi Bou Merouane was constructed in 1033 under the direction of Al-Mu'izz ibn Badis, the fourth ruler of the Zirid dynasty.
The prayer hall incorporates architectural elements from Zirid, Aghlabid, Fatimid, and Sanhajid styles, reflecting North African Islamic design traditions.
The mosque maintains a separate prayer room within its three-tiered square minaret, which visitors can access through designated entrances.
The interior displays a collection of Zirid capitals adorned with decorative elements similar to those found in the mosques of Sousse and Monastir.
