Photo gallery of Bahia Palace, an excellent example of 19th century Moroccan Architecture right in the heart of the city.

Marrakech has a lot to offer in terms of sightseeing activities and monuments. The large amount of palaces and gardens spread around the city maintain visitors occupied for several days.

The Bahia Palace was built at the end of 19th century by Si Moussa, grand vizier of the sultan and has a 2 acre (8,000 m2) garden with rooms opening onto several courtyards. Several rooms can be visited and during a 2 hours visit, you can have a glance of great architecture and the magnificent wood carving works in the palace ceilings.

This palace is just 5 minutes walking from el-Badi Palace, so including these 2 on the some day might be a smart choice. Leave el-Badi for last, during Sun set as colors get amazing on top of the old palace towers.
