 Mausoleum of Mohammed V |
 |
 |
 the cool marble Mausoleum, where the present king's grandfather and father are both laid to rest |
 |
 |
 beautiful tile works |
 off duty |
 the tomb is located below ground in an open chamber |
 above, visitors enter a gallery from which they can see the tomb below |
 the mausoleum is richly decorated with elaborate zellij mosaics from floor to ceiling |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 guards on horses at the entrance |
 |
 |
 |
 Le Tour Hassan (Hassan Tower) |
 the tower still stands but little remains of the adjacent mosque, which was all but destroyed by an earthquake in 1755 |
 |
 only the re-erected, shattered pillars testify to the grand plans of Al-Mansour |
 |
 |
 |
 elaborate cravings on the door |
 |
 traditional mosaics adorning traditonal structures everywhere |
