Marrakech, Bahia Palace, door
The construction of the Bahia Palace was commissioned by the
nouveau-riche Abu Ahmed, a former black slave who rose to power
at the end of the 19th century. The palace was designed by the
architect Muhammad al-Mekki of Marrakech.
Some critics say the Bahia Palace is only a work of a tasteless
rich man, but I do recommend visiting it.
