Located in central Morocco, Marrakech is one of the country’s main tourist attractions. It has the feelings of North Africa, the attitude of European life, Moroccan old buildings and so on, can be said to be charming, even “Sex and The City2” went to Marrakech for filming.
Bahia means wisdom. Palais de la Bahia, built in the late 19th century, was the most luxurious palace in Morocco at the time, featuring a Islam blend of Moroccan features, a large garden, and rooms leading to the atrium. The palace was owned by the 19th century sultan, built for his favorite mistresses and now transformed into a museum. Each room in the Palace was carefully designed and sized according to the popularity of the sultan’s concubine, and each concubine’s room had its own atrium.
The Palace has a reception hall, living area, garden, fountain, guest room, stable, Koran School, etc. There are more than 150 rooms with sculptures and paintings, only a few of which are open to the public.
Like to carefully watch the wall of all kinds of tiles, not afraid of the destruction of time, still dazzling. Even the roof on the top of the head also is worth seeing, how are these totem collages pasted after all, the craft technique of Morocco ancient time is magnificent as expected.
We had a whole day to walk in Marrakech, really walk, and the old city is not big and walking is the best way to explore it.

Muy buena tu publicación @porkgoldzhuzhu !
Ciertamente es una gran ciudad llena de colores. Y este museo vale totalmente la pena, me hiciste recordar muchas cosas en un viaje que tuve hace 4 años, tus fotos son increíbles, me motivaste a realizar una publicación sobre esta ciudad.
Es genial meterte al centro y perderte entre las calles de Marrakech. La Mezquita Kutubía es realmente linda de día y de noche.
Y el palacio de la Bahía es espectacular, lleno de colores y formas geométricas, vale totalmente la pena apreciar cada uno de estos.
Te invitó a leer una publicación que hice del Sahara.
Saludos desde México.

Hello @Chuytorres-alc It is great happiness for having your remarks and I think that you do have experienced the unique customs of this city more than that of mine.
Regrettably, I didn’t have enough time to visit the Koutoubia mosque with one close look.
I wish for visiting Marrakech someday again and that you also have the chance.
Have a nice day!
