Walls of Marrakech

Historians disagree on the date of construction of the walls of the city of Marrakech, but it is likely that most of them between 1126 to 1127 m. It is estimated that the geographical Idrissi along these fences Almoravid about nine kilometers were all built with soil compacted or what is termed locally as "the board" or "cob." 

During the era of uniform, work caliph Yaqub al-Mansur to strengthen the fabric of the city and fortifications built trachea, which was the seat of government or the city of the store, along the lines of other cities in the Muslim West. Unitarians support Casbah several doors, some disappeared leaving only the door of which is still Oknaw Raassaa silo off the mosque, which is the main door of the Almohad rod, which is unique from the rest of its shape through the bow doors fully homogenized parties, and high decoration.
