Le Tour Hassan & Mausoleum of Mohammed V
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
