Brief Description：
Founded in the 11th century by the Almoravids as a military settlement, Meknes became a capital under Sultan Moulay Isma?l (1672?1727), the founder of the Alawite dynasty. The sultan turned it into a impressive city in Spanish-Moorish style, surrounded by high walls with great doors, where the harmonious blending of the Islamic and European styles of the 17th-century Maghreb are still evident today.
