    Kasbah of Honaine, or Casbah of Honaine, is a historic fortified citadel located in the town of Honaine in Tlemcen Province, Algeria. The history of the Kasbah and its walls dates back to the era of the Almohads in the 12th century AD, as evidence indicates that it was built by Abd al-Mu'min, the founder of the Almohad dynasty.
