The mosque's overall layout reflects the "T-plan" that became standard in western (Maghrebi) mosques in the Almohad period.[1][2] The building has a rectangular floor plan, measuring about 54 by 34 meters and covering about 2000 square meters.[3][4] The layout includes a vast hypostyle interior prayer space and a large rectangular courtyard (sahn) occupying most of the northern part of the building.
