Bahia Palace

Mellah, Marrakesh, Morocco

Description:

The magnificent and exquisite Bahia Palace was built for 7 years. The reason for this was the greed of Vizier Sidi Moussa, who wanted to build a palace for one of his 24 wives. He was constantly buying new neighboring land. The architect who was engaged in the planning of the palace, it was difficult to constantly make new changes so that they were appropriate and did not look ridiculous.

As a result, the finished palace is a complex labyrinth. The building has only one floor, as the vizier had problems with overweight and did not want to bother with unnecessary loads in the form of stairs to the second floor. The palace has a very long history, it has not reached our days in its original form.

Now it leads those who want to admire the chic design of walls, ceilings, carved doors and marble-lined fountains.
