El Badi Palace

Marrakesh's most beautiful ruin - قصر البديع

Marrakesh's most beautiful ruin, the El Badi Palace, was commissioned by the Saadian sultan Ahmed el Mansour at the end of the sixteenth century, and stripped bare and abandoned by the Alaouite sultan Moulay Ismail just a century later.

The palace has a huge courtyard in the middle, with the ruins of what were once rooms and pavilions around it. You'll see a lot of storks nesting on top of the walls. Explanatory plaques are in Arabic and French.

The modern entrance is on the north side, in the Green Pavilion. In the northeast corner, near the entrance, you can climb up for a view over the courtyard and a closer look at the storks.
