The mihrab in Oued Ghir, Algeria, is the only remaining vestige of the mosque founded by Ibn Toumert between 1117 and 1120. According to some accounts, it is also believed that the historic meeting between Ibn Toumert and Abdelmoumen, the founder of the Almohad dynasty, took place in this mosque. Unfortunately, the mosque itself has completely disappeared and has been replaced by another mosque. Recognizing its cultural significance, the mihrab was classified as a national heritage site on November 3, 1999.![Coin minted during the reign of Abu Yaqub Yusuf, the last line of the inner inscription on the right reads: al-Mahdi Imam al-Umma[28]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Abu_Yaqub_Yusef_Coin.png/500px-Abu_Yaqub_Yusef_Coin.png)
