Bab Ksiba, 12th century city gate in Medina, Morocco
The gate features large wooden doors within stone walls and stands as an entrance point to the southern section of Marrakesh's fortified district.
Bab Ksiba was constructed to protect the western side of the Grand Mechouar, a broad square situated at the entrance of the royal palace.
The structure includes Arabic inscriptions from the Koran above its archway, reflecting the integration of religious elements in Moroccan architecture.
Visitors can locate Bab Ksiba by finding the substantial Eucalyptus tree that stands on its left side near the Saadian Tombs.
This gate led to a smaller fortification that connected to the main kasbah's southwestern corner, creating a secondary defense system.
