Little of the decoration remains, but the size of the courtyard and the pools gives an idea of the original palace. You can walk around the walls and look over the roofs of the medina. It stands close to the Saadian Tombs and the Bahia Palace, so the three can be seen in one morning.
What to look for
- The large central courtyard
- Sunken gardens and pools
- The walls and the views over the medina
