Place El Hedim
by Bernhadette
In order to get from the Bab Mansour to the museum Dar Jamai, you have to cross the "Place El Hedim" ("Square of Destruction"). Legend has it that the name originated in Sultan Moulay Ismail's building activities. He had torn down a number of houses that originally were part of the medina in order to form a large, presentable forecourt for the entrance to the Ville Impériale. It is said that initially the construction waste was piled on the premisses of the Place.
Nowadays it is a center for merchants and street hawkers, who offer bits and pieces for the tourists, and still not in its best condition.
The Grand Mosque
by Doctor38
This mosque was built by Yousef Ben Tashafin. The Great Moravid Sultan who built Both Marrakish and Meknas. The mosque was renovated during Mohammed Alnasser in 1199 as indicated by the inscription. It has a central court yard and three big prayer halls interconnected. I was able to take 3 pictures from inside the mosque before I was told that I should stop. This mosque is located in front of Madrasat Abou Inan.
