Almohad conquest of Marrakesh
The Almohad conquest of Marrakesh was the capture of the Almoravid capital by the forces of Abd al-Mu'min in 1147. The city was stormed after a siege, and the last Almoravid ruler there was killed. The fall of Marrakesh ended the Almoravid Empire in North Africa and made the city the capital of the Almohad Caliphate.
