Meknes

Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, Meknes, Morroco, 1703, built by Ahmed Eddahbi, pictured on December 21, 2009. An archway in typical Islamic design, pierces a stuccoed wall in the corner of a large room. Through it stretches a tiled ceramic floor in geometric design, contrasting with the soft apricot walls. The tiled pattern, seen at a low angle, creates a dizzying illusion. Meknes, one of Morocco's Imperial cities, was redeveloped under Sultan Ismail Moulay (1634-1727). It is a fortified city built from pise, or clay and straw, and was designed to be the political capital of Morocco, as opposed to Fez, the religious capital. Picture by Manuel Cohen
