Place El Hedim
Meknès, MAplace
About
The heart of the Meknès medina is Place El Hedim, the large square facing Bab El Mansour. Before Moulay Ismail swept through town a kasbah stood on this spot, but once the bab was erected the king ordered for it to be demolished in favour of a broad plaza from which the gate could be better admired. Originally used for royal announcements and public executions, it's a good place to sit and watch the world go by.
