Some like to add their own mark to a piece of history. Such is the case here. This is but one of the many doors in the ruins of the historic Badi Palace that bears the scrawled names of visiting tourists. The huge palace was built in the 14th Century for receptions and audiences. It only lasted 100 years. In 1683, the infamous Sultan Moulay Ismail demolished it and salvaged the lavish materials to embellish his own imperial city of Meknes. The door can be seen as a symbolic barrier. It is locked. But those who can never enter it have still made themselves heard. Their names extend beyond door as well, faintly etched faintly on the wall of the crumbling palace.
