The Kasbah, Bab Oudaia

The monumental Bab Oudaia, built in the 12th century by Yakoub el-Mansour and an excellent example of Almohad military architecture. I don’t like all the cars, but it’s the best picture I have of the entire gate rather than just the top half of it and perhaps shows how a 1,000 year old structure is part of daily life in the Kasbah (that's my justification, anyway!).

I'm glad you shared it, even with the cars (I know what you mean though). An excellent
capture of the textures, details and tones of this fabulous gate.

What a wonderful gate. Alas even Photoshop can't "tow away" these cars ~V~

I would have liked the beautiful entrance by itself but Ine can't have everything and, as some said, the cars add contrast. Excellent photo. V

A historic entrance with modern cars and a vendor makes a wonderful visual contrast.. Voted
