Unfortunately, practically all of the buildings that can be seen at the Qalat Bani Hammad today only exist as the foundations of destroyed buildings without roofs. The minaret of the large mosque in the qalat is the only construction that has survived above ground level beyond the remains of a plan. A masonry building, the minaret is made of stone bricks set in a coursed ashlar design. The minaret’s square design is reminiscent of examples from Andalusia, but the exterior’s arrangement of arches is most likely a Fatimid Egyptian influence.
