Saadian Tombs, Royal necropolis in Kasbah district, Marrakesh, Morocco
The complex contains 66 tombs of princes arranged in three interconnected chambers, decorated with geometric patterns in marble and colorful tiles.
The Saadian dynasty constructed these burial chambers during the 16th century, remaining sealed and hidden until their rediscovery by aerial photography in 1917.
The marble columns, cedar wood ceilings, and detailed carvings demonstrate the refined architectural methods of Moroccan craftsmen during the Saadian period.
The tombs welcome visitors daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with an entrance fee of 70 dirhams and wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout the site.
The Hall of Twelve Columns features Italian Carrara marble supports and gold muqarnas vaulting, marking the final resting place of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur.
