Constructed in the late 16th century, El Badi Palace was a display of wealth and power, built to commemorate the Saadian victory over the Portuguese at the Battle of the Three Kings. Its once-glorious halls were decorated with gold from Timbuktu, Italian marble, and intricate Moroccan craftsmanship. Despite its dismantling in the 17th century, the ruins echo the splendor of a bygone era. Wandering through the palace today, visitors can explore underground dungeons, the remnants of reception halls, and tranquil gardens.

El Badi Palace is a must-see for history buffs, architecture lovers, and anyone curious about Morocco's royal past. It’s also a peaceful retreat from the bustling medina, where you can enjoy the beauty of orange-scented courtyards, admire intricate mosaics, and soak in stunning views from the terraces.
