    Meknes

    January 1, 2020 in Morocco ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    Meknes is a city in northern Morocco. It’s known for its imperial past, with remnants including Bab Mansour, a huge gate with arches and mosaic tiling. The gate leads into the former imperial city. The Mausoleum of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who made the city his capital in the 17th century, has courtyards and fountains. To the south is a vast structure once used as stables and for food storage.

    The horse-driven water wheel would have once drawn up buckets of water from the cistern.
