Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, fountain

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. This is another picture of the beautiful fountain.

A decorative door from the ablutions room, posted earlier today:
