The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani ( Arabic: ضريح السيد علال القيرواني) is a darīh, zawiya, and ribat dedicated to Allal al-Qairawani in Casablanca, Morocco. [1] [2] [3]
The mausoleum became a destination for fishermen. [3] [4]
Legend tells that Allal al-Qairawani was a trader who came from Qairawan to Anfa (Casablanca) around 1350 during the reign of the Marinid Sultan Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Othman and settled to do business along with his wife or daughter "Lalla Baida" (White Lady). [5] The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani is considered the oldest of the zawiyas of Casablanca, as those such as that of Sidi Belyout are much more recent. [5]
The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani was renovated in 2016, after which King Muhammad VI made a visit. [6]
The mausoleum's architectural style is typical of traditional Moroccan architecture.
