The research discusses Al-Mansuriyah, the last capital of the Fatimid state in the Arab Maghreb. It was built by Caliph Al-Mansur Billah (334-341 AH / 945-952 AD) on the place of the battle where he defeated the rebel Abu Yazid ibn Kidad and named it Al-Mansuriyah in commemoration of that victory. He then settled there, and its construction was completed in 337 AH / 948 AD. It remained the capital until the Fatimids moved to Egypt in 361 AH / 971 AD.
