Bab Agnaou

An old gate in the Medina of Marrakech has not been renovated and basically keeps its original flavor. You can see the traces of history engraved on it. Inside the gate is a narrow alley with no traffic, and outside is a busy road, which is a sharp contrast.

Of the 19 gates in the old medina's walls, Bab Agno is the most ornate. The gate is framed by three intricately carved nested arches. The top corners have floral decorations, and the arches are framed by three panels with Quranic inscriptions. Look closely and you might notice that the gate is a bluish-grey stone (found in nearby Gulets), which contrasts with the red medina walls. Bab Agno was built in the 12th century by the Almohad dynasty as an entrance to the royal kasbah. Passing through the intricately carved arches, you might find yourself in a royal state of mind on your way to admire the grandeur of the nearby El Badí Palace or the stunning views of the Saadian Tombs. The gate is always open and looks even more exquisite when lit at night.

You must come and see it, it's very shocking and very good

People come and go, and you can feel the hustle and bustle of the Arab bazaar.
