The first feeling one has when entering this particular imperial capital is of pure enchantment. We are bewitched, falling under the spell of the place and its people. With its world-famous square, Jamaâ El Fna, the beacon city of the Almoravids was founded around 1070. It was from this rudimentary settlement that the earliest conquests were launched. Abu Bakr, head of the Almoravids, undertook the construction of a kasbah (the “stone castle”) only yards away from the present site of the Koutoubia. Marrakech became the capital of a vast empire in the reign of Youssef Ben Tachfine-an empire which, under the Almohades, reached as for as the frontiers of Libya. You can witness different wonders here, but one of these is the “Court of Marvels.”
