Leaving the souq area, a short walk away is Koutoubia Mosque, which dates from the 12th century and is named after the booksellers that line its base. Its minaret design has inspired other structures in Seville and Rabat.
The city walls are visible in many places with a noticeably pink hue.
The elaborately-decorated Saadian Tombs are busy with tourists. Saadian Sultan Ahmed al-Mansour ed-Dahbi used Italian marble and pure gold to create a magnificent mausoleum. Chancellors and wives are also buried here, but in garden plots outside the chambers.
