The Great Mosque of Tlemcen (Arabic: الجامع الكبير لتلمسان el-Jemaa el-Kebir litilimcen) was first built in Tlemcen Algeria in 1082. It is one of the best preserved examples of Almoravid architecture. It was built under sultan Yusuf ibn Tashfin but substantially reconstructed and enlarged by his son Ali ibn Yusuf. An inscription dates this reconstruction to 1136.
