Only the best local artisans were employed to restore this jewel, probably one of the most authentic riads of the city, featured in the work of reference, Marrakech, Secret Homes and Gardens (ACR editions, page 192, available in French as Marrakech, Maisons et Jardins Secrets).
Overlooking the Place Jmaa el Fna, “La Maison” welcomes up to 20 guests . . . couples, golfers, small groups, meetings, seminars, and individuals alike.
Priviledged Environment
Centuries ago, when the Almoravide Empire stretched from Andalusia to the Sudan, the Almoravide sultans used the Place Jmaa el Fna for the public torture of criminals. In time, the Place Jmaa el Fna became a place for dialogue and discovery, the crossroads of many cultures, inspiring numerous artists. The seemingly endless energy of its storytellers, merchants, and musicians have earned it the nickname of “la Place Folle” (the crazy plaza).
In 1985, UNESCO classified the Place Jmaa el Fna as Universal Heritage Site in an effort to preserve this irreplaceable and essential incarnation of the Moroccan imperial city.
