The ruins of El Badi Palace (The Incomparable), with its semi-restored sunken gardens and long reflecting pool. Financed by the spoils of war in the late 16th century, El Badi was the most opulent and impressive palace of its time, before it was stripped bare by the next dynasty for a new palace in Meknes. The layout and style takes from Andalucian influence, best exemplified by the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.
