El Badi Palace, which means “The incomparable palace” was once the magnificent royal palace of the sultan Ahmad al-Mansur of the Saadi Dynasty. Having taken twenty five years to build, El Badi Palace was a lavish, grand sixteenth century complex of buildings with over 350 rooms, courtyards, gardens and a huge pool. Its construction was funded by a substantial ransom paid by the Portuguese after the Battle of the Three Kings. Around 1700 it was stripped of its ornamentation to furnish the palace of Alaouite Sultan Moulay Ismail in the new capital of Meknes. Unfortunately now is in ruins and inhabited by storks and stray cats, but the view from the terrace is still breathless. Visitors who get in through its gatehouse can view the remnant of much of this site. Some of the highlights include its sunken gardens, its subterranean passages and the Koubba el Khamsiniyya or “main hall”, which has fifty columns.

The El Badii Palace (the Incomparable) was built at the end of the 16th century by Sultan Ahmed al-Mansur to commemorate the defeat of the Portuguese in Oued al-Makhazin during the Battle of the Three Kings. It is said that the Incomparable was a palace with more than 300 rooms decorated with the most precious materials: gold, turquoise and crystal. It was completely looted at the end of the 17th century, when Sultan Moulay Ismaïl decided to transfer the capital of Marrakech to Meknes and to use the materials of the El Badii Palace in his city palaces. El Badii Palace is open every day from 9am to 5pm. Entrance fee: 70 dh
