The brief Almoravid dynasty left no monuments behind it. Of the Almoravid Fez and Marrakech the chroniclers relate great things; but the wild Hilalian invasion and the subsequent descent of the Almohads from the High Atlas swept away whatever the first dynasties had created. The Almohads were mighty builders, and their great monuments are all of stone.
This invasion was almost purely destructive, it marks one of the most desolate periods in the progress of the "wasteful Empire" of Moghreb. While the Hilalian Arabs were conquering and destroying northern Morocco another but more fruitful invasion was upon her from the south.
