Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, panel

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.

The ablutions room, paved with green glazed tiles, is a courtyard with a star-shaped fountain and bowl. It also has 12 columns from the el-Badi palace in Marrakech. Pictured is a panel on one of the walls.

The ceiling of this magnificent room, posted earlier today:

Such fascinating designs in the tile work - all symbolic, I'm guessing. Beautiful V
