The Kasbah of the Udayas is
a kasbah in Rabat. It was built during the reign of the
Almohads. When the Almohads had captured Rabat and destroyed the
kasbah of the Almoravids in the town, they began reconstructing
it in AH 544 / AD 1150. They added a palace and a mosque and
named it al-Mahdiyya, after their ancestor al-Mahdi Ibn Tumart.
After the death of Yaqub al-Mansur (AH 595 / AD 1199) the kasbah
was deserted.
