The shape of the arches, the columns that have no base, the capitals replaced by column bases or pillettes, the south and southwest orientation of the mihrab, are all elements that characterize the mosques of the High Middle Ages, especially those built around this same period of the ninth century.

The minaret, as it appears on the drawings of the nineteenth century, without the lantern and the arches of the upper level, recalls that of the first Zayyanid mosques of Agadir and Tlemcen, which date back to the time of Yaghmurâsan, founder of the dynasty (1235-1283), even if some of these drawings are considered inaccurate by St. Gsell. The hexagonal shape of the lantern, with its conical dome, and the type of horseshoe arch of the second floor are a mark of Ottoman architecture.

As for the ornamentation of the walls of the prayer hall, the floral decoration made on plaster, fragments of which were discovered next to the mihrab and near the wall of the eastern façade, is compared by R.Doukali, the author of the discovery, to those of the Qal’a of the Banū Hammad.
