Saadian Tombs are a visited destination in Marrakech and even though they exist since the 16th century they were unknown up until early 20th century. After their discovery in 1917 they were restored and open to public. They are beautifully decorated and there are about sixty tombs where noble people of the Saadi Dynasty were buried.

The most known and most visited room is of course the one that is decorated the best and in which is located the tomb of the Sultan´s son. This room has twelve columns and other monuments made out of Italian marble stone.

This palace which name means brilliance is really brilliant, especially having in mind the period when it was built. This marvelous palace has spacious gardens which spread on about 2 acres or approximately 8000 square meters. This was and still is a luxurious palace where rooms have exits to the garden.

It was built in the late 19th century by a sultan´s vizier in both Moroccan and Islamic style with all the necessary rooms such as harem and pertaining rooms.

Ben Youssef Madrassa dates back tothe 16th century. It is amazingly well preserved and it is breathtaking. This was once a college named after sultan Ali ibn Yusuf who ruled some three houndred years propr to the construction of the building.

The entire building is rich in carvings of different geometrical shapes. It had the capacity to receive about 900 students. Nowadays, it doesn´t function as a college but as a historical site open to the public. It has been so since 1982. In the inner part there is a large couryard, prayer hall, student dormitories and a small mosque.

People who are familiar with Arabic constructions in Spain will see the similarity between the world-famous alhambra in Granada and Ben Youssef Madrassa.
