Built by the Marinid Sultan Abou Inane Fares in honor of Abou Abdallah Echoudsy , a qadi of Seville accused of witchcraft and conspiring against the Zayyanid monarch under the Marinid occupation of the city.
The current structure is a 1917 reconstruction. It is believed to contain the tomb of the pre-Islamic figure, Khalid bin Sinan, who is cited in local traditions as having moved to Algeria. It is currently in a state of disrepair but is still a popular spot for visits from locals.
