Where you’ll be

Marrakesh, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco

The Riad MAKILA is located near the heart of the souks in the famous district of Mouassine, district of the Antique shops and close to the best addresses of the medina at 5 minutes walk from the Jemaa El Fna.
Ideally located: very quiet and secure area, Riad MAKILA is a very nice place to stay. It's a neighborhood where you feel good and where you can not be better placed.

Historically the Saadian dynasty (16th and 17th centuries), made Marrakech its capital,
and the Saadian Sultan Abdallah Al-Ghalib Billah to rehabilitate this district of the Medina, formerly that of the Jewish community, orders the construction of a vast religious and socio-cultural complex around which was built the district of Mouassine, new urban model. The mosque of Chorfas, today called Mosque of Mouassine, was built from 1562, with a library, a madrassah (supplanted later by a Koranic school or msid), ablution room or "maïda", a hammam, latrines and of course a fountain.
This last visited is of rectangular plan and measures 18m10 of length and 4m70 of depth. Built according to the prototype of the Almoravide fountain Ali Ben Youssef of the 12th century (see below), it offers three large open bays and consists of three water troughs and a fountain wall. Two basins were reserved for animals as drinking troughs, the one in the center being a water reservoir. The fountain itself was reserved for humans.

Today the pools are no longer and under the arches alone enthroned some mopeds. A faucet always lets the water flow while the whole building is surrounded by a fence since 1981. From time to time it hosts exhibitions of paintings.

From an architectural point of view, the facade of the fountain is capped by a plaster cornice, probably late. The pool reserved for humans is, for its part, capped with an elegant carved and painted cedar wood awning, 1m96 high and topped with varnished green tiles. On the inside wall, you can read a verse from the Koran in Kufic script. The rest of the decoration, on plaster and wood, consists of calligraphy in cursive or Kufic characters, floral decorations, muqarnas consoles (stalactites), arcatures, friezes, small columns, crows, etc.

This historic fountain of Marrakech was restored in 1992.
The mosque is being restored for more than a year.
