The Great Mosque of Tlemcen and the dome of its maqṣūra

Abstract

[EN] The aim of this article is to study some aspects of the Great Mosque of Tlemcen based on a planimetrical survey that has recently been carried out on its most outstanding features, particularly the area of the mihrab and the maqsura. It provides observations on this significant monument from Almoravid times that relate to its analysis by means of drawings. In spite of the fact that it is considered to be one of the most emblematic buildings of Western Islamic art of the 12th Century, only general ground plans have been published up until now, mostly schematic ones, and a few detailed drawings. The plans that we are publishing enable us to comprehend to a greater extent this remarkable building that is set out in comparison with other examples, and especially with regard to the vaults of intertwined arches.

[ES] El presente artículo tiene como objeto estudiar algunos aspectos de la mezquita mayor de Tremecén basándonos en un levantamiento planimétrico realizado recientemente de sus elementos más singulares, en especial del área del mihrab y la maqsura, aportando algunas observaciones sobre este importante monumento de época almorávide que se desprenden de su análisis a través de los dibujos. Pese a ser considerada una de las construcciones más emblemáticas del arte islámico occidental del siglo XII, nunca se han publicado hasta ahora más que plantas generales, casi todas esquemáticas, y algunos dibujos de detalles. Los planos que publicamos permiten una mejor comprensión de esta obra singular que se pone en relación con otros ejemplos y de un modo especial a través de las bóvedas de arcos entrecruzados.

Se incluye además la versión en español con fotografías en color
