Marrakesh European cemetery

The European Cemetery is a military cemetery for Free French fighters from the Second World War, and a civilian Christian cemetery, mostly for French colonialists.

The first thing you’ll see on entry is a white obelisk commemorating the soldiers who died in Africa fighting for Free France and the Allies during the Second World War. 333 fallen fighters are buried here.
