The historic city of Meknes is well-known for its fortified ramparts and their enormous decorated gates, and the Bab Al Mansour Gate is arguably the grandest of all. Completed in 1732, it features marble columns constructed from the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Zellij mosaics and inscriptions run across the top of the gate in the Almohad tradition. Today, a vibrant arts and crafts gallery can be found inside.
