Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, courtyard

The Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, who ruled Morocco from 1672 to 1727, was built in the 17th century. It was a beautiful complex both inside and out, with its several courtyards, burial chamber, ablutions room, fountain and marvelous tile work and doors.

This was the main courtyard in the mausoleum.

A part of the door to the burial chamber, which had to have been at least 12 feet high:

I love this composition. The massive arches and in the middle a single tiny lantern.
