The history behind Marrakesh is actually really
fascinating – and that’s saying something considering I usually I lack the
capabilities to understand and remember any stories of the past. Here’s a
random fact for you: did you know that Marrakesh was actually the whole of
Morocco at one point?
I can go on and on about some of the most
historical buildings in Marrakesh – the grand gates all around the city, Jamaa
el Fna, the mosques – but what amazes me most here are the palaces, the Bahia
and the Badi to be exact. Located just a few minutes away from each other, each
palace has a unique story to tell, from their history all the way to the facade of ruins that’s left behind.
