"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!
