Meknes
Prison, Meknes, Morocco pictured on December 26, 2009. The walls of the prison are lit by stong sunshine. Below them is a huge underground prison where Ismail Moulay is alleged to have kept Christian prisoners. Meknes, one of Morocco's Imperial cities, was redeveloped under Sultan Ismail Moulay (1634-1727). It is a fortified city built from pise, or clay and straw, and was designed to be the political capital of Morocco, as opposed to Fez, the religious capital. Picture by Manuel Cohen
