Palais El Badii

A 16th-century palace of majestic ruins, the Palais El Badi offers a fascinating insight into Saadian architecture. Built in 1578 by Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, it represents the apogee of this dynasty. Its vast courtyards, large central banqueting courtyard and elaborate gardens bear witness to a past of splendor. Precious materials such as Italian marble and Sudanese gold add to its charm. Today, the ochre-hued remains of Marrakech, with carved wooden ceilings and stucco features, fascinate. Visitors can explore underground tunnels, observe storks' nests and enjoy panoramic views from its terraces. Visit the site for an immersive experience into the history of Marrakech and the Saadian dynasty.
