Badi Palace - The Badi Palace (viewed from the outside) is a symbol of “grandeur and decadence.” Following his triumph over the Portuguese in the renowned Battle of the Three Kings, King Ahmed Al-Mansor decided to reward himself with a palace reminiscent of Arabian Nights. Chroniclers of the era hailed it as one of the marvels of the Muslim world. Unfortunately, the palace met a tragic fate. In 1680, it was looted by another sultan to construct his own opulent palace elsewhere.

Bahia Palace - The Bahia Palace (explored from the inside) is a sprawling 19th-century residence, originally built by Si Musa, the grand vizier of the Sultan of Morocco in 1859. The palace was later expanded by his son, Ahmed Ben Musa, known as Ba Ahmed, who served as regent and the de facto ruler of Morocco while the Sultan was just sixteen. Today, the palace stands as the most visited tourist attraction in Marrakesh. Spanning eight thousand square meters, it features Riads, courtyards, gardens, and corridors connecting its various sections. It is constructed in an Islamic and Moorish architectural style that continues to dominate luxurious palaces and residences.
-
Mellah - The Mellah quarter, or Jewish quarter, is an integral part of the city’s fabric, serving as a transitional space for the Muslim residents of the city. This area was exclusively for the Jewish community, with Muslims permitted entry during the day but restricted at night. It was a place where Muslims engaged in economic activities and paid homage to the Muslim saints in the area, a space that Muslims associate with as part of Marrakech. However, it was also a “betwixt and between” space, as it was not a Muslim area. The Mellah quarter of Marrakech is one of the largest Jewish quarters in Morocco, established by Jews who arrived from Spain and Portugal. These Jews, known in Hebrew as the Megorashim, or the exiles, transformed the Moroccan Jewish community by introducing new customs.
-
Koutoubia Mosque - The Koutoubia Mosque (viewed from the outside) is a masterpiece of Spanish-Moorish art, a Moorish gem created at the behest of the Almohad sultan, Abd el-Mumin. It was completed by the sultan’s grandson, Yakub al-Mansor.
