Visiting Bahia Palace in Marrakesh, Morocco
Hello friends,
Today I am going to talk about the Bahia Palace, a palace with beautiful gardens in the Medina of Marrakesh, Morocco.
The palace was built in two stages by two men, Si Moussa and his son Ba Ahmed, both Grand Viziers of Morocco. Artisans from throughout North Africa and Andalusia were employed in the construction of the palace, and the finest materials were used. The palace was so lavish, that after the death of Ba Ahmed, the Sultan of Morocco Moulay al Aziz ordered the stripping and collection of its furniture and decorations (1). Fortunately, some parts of the palace were spared, and we can admire them today.
And that's the end of today's post. I hope you liked it, and that you will follow me to the next one, for some more pictures of the palace. Have a good day, and speak to you soon!
