Palais Al Mansour
Meknès, MAplace
About
Little visited but rather glorious in its semi-state of repair, Palais Al Mansour is an all-but-forgotten relic of Moulay Ismail's reign, in a quiet suburb of Meknès. The 17th-century palace was once the king's summer residence, built by the same architect who masterminded Bab El Mansour. It is in the process of being resurrected from rubble but progress is slow. The round, domed reception room – architecturally magnificent with seven arches, but restrained in every other way, typical of Moulay Ismail's distinctive style – is a highlight.
