Bahia Palace, A Palace of Elegance Amidst Verdant Gardens
5 Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, Marrakech
3.9
Introduction
The Bahia Palace in Marrakech was built in the late 19th century and is an elegant palace with many gardens. It was the largest and most magnificent palace in Morocco at that time. Its name "Bahia" means "brilliance". Compared to other Moroccan architecture of the same period, the Bahia Palace aims to embody Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. The palace was designed by the Grand Vizier Si Moussa of the Sultanate of Morocco for his own private use. However, the architectural structure still reflects the aesthetic taste of the wealthy merchants of that time, mundane and ordinary. After all, the building was not designed for artistic and aesthetic needs, but merely for its scale, resulting in hasty planning and mediocre details. Address 5 Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, Marrakech
