Meknes
Carved screen, Bou Inania Madrasa, Meknes, Morocco, pictured on December 26, 2009, founded in 1350 by Abu Inan Faris, Marinid ruler, a fine example of Islamic architecture. 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
