Rewind In the Red City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Landmarks in Morocco<\/a> range from vibrant souks and traditional riads to majestic palaces and opulent gardens. Though they can be found dotting the entire country, there’s something extraordinary about experiencing them in Marrakech<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marrakech \u2014 fondly called the Red City for the dominating color of its buildings<\/a> and surrounding terrain, is an epicenter of history. In fact, the Medina in Marrakech has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/a> since 1985. Apart from that, the Medina also houses the largest market in the whole country. With its remarkable historical significance, it’s no wonder this city boasts some of the most iconic landmarks in Morocco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we’ll take you through these must-visit places as well as the best vacation spots nearby. Buckle up, cultural pilgrims, because this stroll is going to be one for the books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landmarks in Morocco: What to Visit in Marrakech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Journey through the heart of the Red City as we guide you to the crown jewels of landmarks in Morocco. Each corner of Marrakech whispers tales of a bygone era, and every visit becomes an adventure in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. JARDIN MAJORELLE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rue Yves Saint Laurent, Marrakech 40090, Morocco<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This enchanting botanical garden is an explosion of colors, with rare plants from five continents and cobalt blue buildings that make it a true oasis in the bustling city<\/a>. Jardin Majorelle is a testament to the passionate vision of French painter Jacques Majorelle and fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who later restored the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jardin Majorelle is just one of several gorgeous green spaces in the city, though. If you want to know where else these oases are, check out our guide to the most gorgeous gardens in Marrakech<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most striking feature of Jardin Majorelle is its cobalt blue buildings, which are a stark contrast to most structures in Marrakech and landmarks in Morocco. <\/em><\/strong>(Photo Credit: Rosalie Gdy<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. BAHIA PALACE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, Marrakech 40000, Morocco<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bahia Palace is a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture, flaunting intricate tile work, carved cedarwood, and sprawling gardens. Designed to be the most splendid palace of its time, the name \u201cBahia\u201d translates to \u201cbrilliance.\u201d Though built in the late 19th century, its architecture is still resplendent and often cited as the prime example of Moroccan artistry. It’s an ideal hangout for lovers of luxury<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. KOUTOUBIA MOSQUE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Avenue Mohammed V, Marrakech 40020, Morocco<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest mosque in Marrakech, Koutoubia Mosque, is an iconic symbol of the city and its relationship with the Islamic faith. But did you know it is named after the Arabic word for “bookseller?\u201d This is because of the honorable bookselling trade practiced at the nearby souk in the past. At one time, as many as 100 book and manuscript vendors worked in the streets at the base of the mosque. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though non-Muslims cannot enter the mosque, they can admire its Almohad architecture from the beautiful surrounding gardens. Of course, there are also other equally beautiful, albeit less historic places tucked away in the city, such as this sprawling, minimalist riad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. SAADIAN TOMBS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rue de La Kasbah, Marrakech 40000, Morocco<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hidden away for centuries, the Saadian Tombs were rediscovered in 1917. Here, you can witness the final resting place of Saadian Sultan Ahmed al Mansour ed Dahbi, adorned with Italian marble and intricate carvings that exude silent grandeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being in ruins, El Badii Palace or \u201cThe Incomparable Palace,\u201d has an irresistible charm. The former grand palace boasts vast courtyards and reflective pools, giving a sense of the site’s past splendor. In its heyday, it used to have over 350 rooms to host elite guests and people of power. Today, it only hosts laughter, especially during the comedy-centered Marrakech Laughter Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jardin Secret, a recently restored palace complex, is an oasis of tranquility in the bustling Medina.

Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, Marrakech 40000, Morocco<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar Si Said Museum is dedicated to the rich craftsmanship that defines Morocco.

Its Moroccan arts and crafts collection should not be missed, especially if you want to learn about history, as it is distilled by weapons, jewelry, and musical instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. BEN YOUSSEF MADRASA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ben Youssef, Marrakech 40000, Morocco<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ben Youssef Madrasa is one of Morocco’s landmarks that will swell any history buff or architecture enthusiast’s heart. Boasting over six centuries of intellectual and cultural legacy, this was once the largest Islamic college in Morocco, named after the neighboring Ben Youssef Mosque. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing from earlier Moroccan and Andalusian architecture, the intricate designs feature exquisite elements like pools, gardens, fountains, and zellij<\/em> mosaic tilework. After undergoing periods of restoration, it reopened in April 2022 and continues to enchant thousands of visitors each year as a monumental jewel of Arab art and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
