MOROCCO - Historic City of Meknes

"Founded in the 11th century by the Almoravids as a military settlement, Meknes became a capital under Sultan Moulay Ismaïl (1672–1727), the founder of the Alawite dynasty. The sultan turned it into a impressive city in Spanish-Moorish style, surrounded by high walls with great doors, where the harmonious blending of the Islamic and European styles of the 17th century Maghreb are still evident today." -http://whc.unesco.org/

Thank you so much Brigitte for taking the time to send this to me
during your vacation in Morocco! Am sure you did enjoy your stay there!
