A multitude of workmen from Europe took part in work. Marbles of Italy, onyxes, mosaics and coatings of gold sheets decorated the walls, and the ceilings of the 360 parts.
Unfortunately, a century later, the building was entirely destroyed by Moulay Ismaïl. The recovered materials were used to embellish the imperial palaces of Meknès.
There remains today only the structures of the palate: vestiges of a labyrinth of parts being useful at the time of kitchen, hammams but also prison and private apartments. And even if all the reconstitution of this place is done through your imagination, the calm one which reigns there and the vastness of the place will transport you earlier centuries in a world of ostentation, glory and majesty.
It is in these imposing ruins that is held the annual Festival of the Moroccan Folklore.
