BAB MANSOUR
Bab Mansour el-Aleuj or "Gate of the victorious renegade", one of the most beautiful in Morocco, hosting temporary exhibitions
The real name of this majestic gateway is Bab Mansour el-Aleuj, which means "the gateway of the victorious renegade". The architect of the complex that was to complete Moulay Ismaïl's work was in fact a Christian convert to Islam. Rightly considered one of the most beautiful gates in Morocco, it was only completed by his son Moulay Abdellah after the Sultan's death in 1732. It is characterized by its chicane construction, designed to slow down attackers. It is currently closed for renovations.
