Descripción del sitio
The medina or old city of Marrakesh was founded in 1062 by Yusuf ibn Tashfin who was member of the Almoravides dynasty. At it's conception, Marrakesh served as a millitary camp for troops traveling from the Atlas Mountains to the south up to the larger towns in northern Morocco. The ramparts that surround the city were built in the 12th century by Ben Yusuf who wanted to protect the city from the threat of invasion. www.medloc-maroc.com
