Saadian Tombs
المقابر السعدية
Marrakech, Morocco
The royal mausoleums of the Saadian dynasty, built in the late 16th century. Walled off for 200 years by a later sultan and only rediscovered in 1917, the tombs contain 66 rulers and royals in three elaborately decorated chambers of Italian Carrara marble, gilded cedarwood, and zellige tilework.
