Al-Mansur ibn al-Nasir ( Arabic: المنصور بن الناصر) (died 1104) was the sixth ruler of the Hammadids in Algeria (1088–1104).
Al-Mansur ibn al-Nasir succeeded his father Nasir ibn Alnas in 1088. [1] In 1090, he left the Kal'a ( Beni Hammad Fort), the traditional capital of the Hammadids, to settle in Béjaïa (Bougie) with his troops and his court, [2] which he considered less accessible to the Nomads. [1] He left the region because of the destruction caused by the arrival of the Banu Hilal. [2] His father had already prepared this transfer by transforming a fishing port into a city he calls An-Nasiriya but which was to assume the name of Bougie, [1] the name of a tribe that inhabited this region. [2] Al-Mansur built public buildings, palaces, a water distribution network and gardens in Bejaia. [3] The Hammadid kingdom thus abandoned its nomadic origins and became sedentary. [3] The Kal'a was not completely abandoned by al-Mansur and he even embellished it with a number of palaces. [1] The Hammadids therefore had two capitals joined by a royal road at this time. [4]
