Bab Mansour Gate

Came on March 4, 2019. Meknes is one of Morocco's "four imperial cities", known as the "black city" Meknes ancient city is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The great Mule Ismail Sultan was here during his reign, and Mansour Gate was the last major construction project of his reign to commemorate his great achievements. Moule Ismail Sultan is the ancestor of the Moroccan royal family, and in Moroccan history is also called "the ancient emperor", his gate is not only magnificent, but also very beautiful, including many famous decorative art at the time. Therefore, this is definitely one of the must-visit attractions in Morocco. In front of the gate is an open square. There are many shops selling local crafts around the square, which is full of tourists and local vendors.

The gate is hundreds of years old, next to the 25-kilometer-long city wall rated as a world cultural heritage. In front of it is Harding Square, known as Little Dejima Square. Inside the gate is a gallery selling paintings.

About 35km from the ancient city of Meknes-Worubilis, driving along the way is definitely enjoyable, especially from the dry and barren eastern mountainous area to the wet multi-layered vegetation slope, every turn is hidden by surprise.

There are more than 40 city gates in Morocco. It takes so long to drive to see a stable and see a city gate. It is strongly recommended to cancel the tour of this city. You can see the special trip. It is not interesting to come here. It happened to be the city gate and the exhibition market. There were many people and many stalls. The photos are all good. See the stitches and pats. It is here to accompany the locals to protect. There are not many good explanations. The scenic spots need a good introduction so that we can understand Baidu and the tour guide's explanation. There is still a difference.

Historical and cultural heritage protection, very spectacular

Is it a bit strange to have an ancient Roman ruin in Morocco? Two thousand years ago, the strong Roman Empire not only dominated the whole of southern Europe, but also extended its territory to the vast areas on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, which is now Egypt, Algeria, Morocco in Africa, and thus became the inner lake of the Roman Empire. The thoughtful Romans found the vast land and pleasant climate of northern Morocco suitable for wheat, and made it a granary of the Roman Empire. The ancient city of Meknes/Worubilis is excellently located on a slope, surrounded by vast fields, convenient transportation, and not afraid of flooding. Although Worubilis is a site of the city pool two thousand years ago, the scale of the building is still magnificent from afar. Two thousand years ago, public facilities and houses were covered with tiles, and even now they are luxurious and upscale. In 476 AD, the Germans led the army to deposed the last emperor of Western Rome, and the West Roman Empire was destroyed. Warrubilis was abandoned in the vast history. Do you feel a little familiar? Yes, the famous Oscar-winning American film "General Barton" is shot here. Watch the world as you go.

Mansor City Gate - Located in Meknes, built in the 11th century, the ancient city of Meknes is one of the four imperial cities of the Kingdom of Morocco, it has the longest and most complete, most complex layout and most abundant form of the ancient city wall in Morocco. As a world cultural heritage, the most famous is the 25-kilometer ancient city wall, built by Mulai Ismail, to make a monument to his own great achievements. We were fortunate to take a photo with the guards in front of the city gate, and they were very cooperative.
