Kings Marrakech Marrakesh Moroccan Morocco Tomb Tombs Saadian
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the historic city of Marrakesh, Morocco, where the Tombs of the Saadien Kings lie hidden beneath the earth. The Saadian dynasty ruled the region from the late 16th to the early 17th century, and these tombs are a testament to their power and wealth. The intricately decorated tombs, adorned with gold leaf and precious stones, were rediscovered in 1917 after being buried for centuries. The mausoleum is home to the remains of about sixty members of the Saadian royal family, including Sultan Ahmad al-Mansour, who is believed to have commissioned the tombs himself. The tombs are a unique blend of Moroccan, Moorish, and Islamic architectural styles, with ornate carvings, geometric patterns, and intricate calligraphy covering the walls. The cedar, pine, and cypress wood coffins are inlaid with mother-of-pearl and decorated with gold and silver. The Saadian Tombs are a must-see attraction for visitors to Marrakesh, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Morocco. The tombs are a reminder of the grandeur and splendor of the Saadian dynasty, and a testament to the enduring legacy of North African history.
