Sidi El Haloui Mosque, Religious monument in Tlemcen, Algeria
The Sidi El Haloui Mosque features a five-nave prayer hall with pointed horseshoe arches supported by onyx columns from the Palace of Victory at al-Mansourah.
The Marinid sultan Abu Inan commissioned the construction of this mosque complex in 1353 next to the mausoleum of Abū Abdallāh al-Shūdhī, a scholar from Seville.
The mosque incorporates intricate sebka patterns on its facades and contains a hexagonal mihrab decorated with a muqarnas cupola following Islamic architectural traditions.
The mosque complex includes several functional spaces, including the main prayer hall, ablution facilities across the road, and a 25-meter-high minaret.
The prayer hall contains sixteen pillars and eight pink onyx columns that were repurposed from another historical structure to create its distinctive interior architecture.
