Heri Es Souani
Meknès, MAplace
About
Nearly 2km southeast of Moulay Ismail's mausoleum, the king's immense granaries and stables, Heri Es Souani, were ingeniously designed. Tiny ceiling windows, massive walls and a system of underfloor water channels kept the temperatures cool and air circulating. Incredibly the building provided stabling and food for 12,000 horses, and Moulay Ismail regarded it as one of his finest architectural projects. The giant vaults are impressive and atmospheric – particularly in the darkest corners – with original cedar wood doors leaning against the walls.
