The shrine of Qadi Iyyad in Marrakech, Morocco. He was born in 1083 in Gibraltar and was the Qadi of Grenada until he was banished to Morocco after leading a failed revolt against the Almohads in Al-Andalus.  One of his most influential works is Tartib al-Mardarik wa-Taqrib al-masalik li-Ma’rifat ala’m Madhab Malik, a collection of biographies of various Maliki scholars.  This man must have been pretty impressive because it takes guts to lead a revolt against the Almohads. Also, no space compares in tranquility to that of a quiet shrine.
