Descripción del sitio
Created in the 12 th century by the Almohad sovereign, Abd al-Mumin, and subsequently enlarged by the Saadians, this estate was the main residence of Marrakesh royalty. Now closed to the public, the Palace houses emaculate tile mosaics, wood carvings and also luxurious gardens. Only the outerwall is accessible to the public. The wall and door offer a small glimpse into what lies behind them. With a majestic pointed arch and grand wood doors, the building exemplifies the grandure of Moroccan royaltly. Motifs in green, blue and white surround the door but there are not any inscriptions in Arabic. Parker, Richard. "A Practicle Guide To Islamic Monuments in Morocco."
