Meknes
Attics of the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, Meknes, Morroco, 1703, built by Ahmed Eddahbi, pictured on December 21, 2009. A panoramic view of the corridors and archways captures a patchwork of light and shade in this magnificent building. 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
