Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, door detail

The Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, who ruled Morocco from 1672 to 1727, was built in the 17th century. It was a beautiful complex both inside and out, with its several courtyards, burial chamber, ablutions room, fountain and marvelous tile work and doors.

This is a detail of the full door pictured below, which had to have been at least 12 feet high.
