Southern Medina

Eurasian White Stork, Palais el-Badi

The Southern Medina is a little quieter than the Northern Medina.

From the Jemaa el Fna, two roads - Rue Riad Zitoun el Jedid, and Rue Riad Zitoun el Kedim - both lead to the southern part of the Medina.

Rue Riad Zitoun el Kedim

Sights

The top sights in the southern half of the Medina are: the expansive, majestic ruins of El Badi Palace, the exquisite Saadian Tombs and the 19th-century Bahia Palace, with its wonderfully worked interiors.

Districts

The Southern Media also contains two interesting districts: The Mellah, a former Jewish quarter, and the Kasbah, or citadel. Beyond the Kasbah are the sprawling Agdal Gardens.
