After that, it was made the capital of the Almoravid Empire. In Marrakesh in the 1100s, the Almoravids built many churches and schools based on the Quran, with Andalusian styles. It has become a famous tourist spot because of its long past and beautiful old buildings. It is Morocco’s largest city because it is a center for business and culture.
