Take a stroll through the medina in Marrakech and you will find the 19th century Bahia Palace. The entrance takes you through lush gardens with banana, bamboo, bougainvillea.
Look up at each threshold, the tiled ceilings are beautiful.
And so is the Jali.
Take a peep through at your daughter if she came too.
Glimpse through to the courtyard.
and look through the window to a room that was once a concubines.

Nice photo!
I can’t believe the intricate and painstaking decorative touches. Wonderful pictures, Gilly.
What a beautiful looking place. I loved the close up detail of the intricate stone carvings around the door. Amazing 🙂
I love the Moroccan architecture, Gilly. Such attention to intricate detail. 🙂
a journey to another world … I do love Islamic design and decoration … and how lovely to have a daughter to look through too!
Bahia Palace is truly exotic, beautiful, uniquely carved and molded by hand and heart. Getting there is an exciting adventure. Wow!
Always, always wanted to go there.
What an amazing place, Gilly! In the third picture – are those elaborately carved walls made of stone? It looks like lace!
The designs are not tacky. The third one is not overdone with colors, which is even better, it still looks elegant.
the bananas remind me of here!
