El Badi Palace, 16th-century palace ruins in Marrakesh, Morocco
The palace features vast courtyards with sunken gardens, remnants of 360 rooms, multiple pavilions, and a central pool spanning 90 meters by 20 meters.
Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur constructed El Badi Palace from 1578 to 1593 to celebrate his victory over Portuguese forces at the Battle of the Three Kings.
The palace complex houses the preserved 12th-century minbar from the Koutoubia Mosque, displaying intricate Islamic geometric patterns and wooden craftsmanship.
El Badi Palace opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with entrance fees of 70 dirhams for adults and 35 dirhams for children under 12 years old.
The palace structure incorporated materials from multiple countries, including Italian marble, Sudanese gold, and Indian spices used as mortar in the construction.
