[Almohads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almohad_Caliphate) in the 12th century.[149](../../149/ "tree and pragmatics") It was later refortified and expanded by the corsairs and the 'Alawi dynasty in the 17th and 18th centuries.[\[23\]](../../page/3/#ref-23 "note 23")[\[19\]](../../page/3/#ref-19 "note 19")[\[22\]](../../page/3/#ref-22 "note 22")[\[81\]](../../page/3/#ref-81 "note

revivalist style by Vietnamese architect Cong Vo Toan.[\[87\]](../../page/3/#ref-87 "note 87")[\[88\]](../../page/3/#ref-88 "note 88")[164](../../164/ "tree and pragmatics") A short distance south of
