Pavilion / Menara Gardens

Pavilion or 'minzah' (beautiful view), built C19 in the Alawi style for use by the sultan and his family. It is thought that the building rests on the remains of a C16 Saadian structure [source: www.morocco.com]. The artificial lake is fed by water from the Atlas mountains—20 miles away—then used to irrigate olive groves. Menara, Marrakech, Morocco.
