Bahia Palace is the former home of the regent of Morocco and his wives and concubines. It boasts of beautiful Moroccan architecture and finishes and details that will leave you in awe of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Moroccan people.
The Bahia Palace is a late 19th-century palace in Marrakesh, Morocco. Today it is a well-known historic monument and tourist attraction in the city. The palace is most famous for its decoration. Its walls feature stucco carved with Arabic inscriptions, geometric patterns, arabesques, and muqarnas. Its floors are paved with marble tiles. Among its most famous elements are the cedar-wood ceilings painted with colourful floral patterns, along with the carved and painted wooden canopies of major doorways.
The palace's vast and labyrinthine layout, which does not reveal a clear unified plan, is due to the fact that it was expanded in a piecemeal fashion in different stages over many years. It comprises a number of inner courtyards and riad gardens (interior gardens with a symmetrical four-part division), around which are arranged various rooms and chambers. (Wikipedia)
