The shining Royal Palace of Fez 🇲🇦

The Royal Palace of Fez is a palace complex located in Fes, Morocco. It was founded by the Marinid sultan Abu Yusuf Ya’qub in 1276 and served as the new royal residence and center of government for Morocco under Marinid rule. The palace is located in Fes el-Jdid ("New Fes"), the fortified royal district founded by the Marinid sultans in 1276. Today it covers 80 hectares, taking up much of the city’s area. The vast grounds are home to multiple private structures, patios, and gardens, but historically also included administrative offices and government tribunals. The palace is a striking example of Arabic architecture and is decorated with intricate carvings. The exterior of the Royal Palace in Fes is a sight to behold. The pink and white facade is adorned with intricate tile work and the main gates are highly ornate. The palace is not open to the public, but visitors can admire its beauty from the outside and stroll through the adjacent gardens. #christmastrip
