Bab Agnaou

Bab Agnaou is one of the nineteen gates of Marrakech, Morocco. It was built in the 12th century in the time of the Almohad dynasty.The name Agnaou, like Gnaoua, in Berber refers to black people.The gate was called Bab al Kohl (also referring to black people) or Bab al Qsar (palace gate) in some historical sources.The function of the gate must have been representation, first of all. The corner-pieces are decorated with floral decorations extending around a shell. This ornamentation is framed by three panels and on these panels is an inscription from the Quran in Maghribi, foliated Kufic letters, which were also used in Al-Andalus. Bab Agnaou was renovated and its opening reduced in size, during sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah. Forerunners of this horseshoe-shaped gate with its corner-pieces, framed by inscriptions from the Quran can be found in the Mezquita in Cordoba. It shows many similarities to the contemporary (much simpler) Bab Er-Rouah in Rabat.

Bab Ksiba

Bab Ksiba is one of the nineteen gates of Marrakech, Morocco. It was built in the 12th century in the time of the Almohad dynasty. Bab KsibaThe name Ksiba, (pron. Lak- siba), in Berber refers to the Kasbah district of the Medina, where this gateway is located. Kasbah means Fortress where Ksiba means Little -Fort. The term Bab literally means door but in this instance is also gate, gateway or opening.To the left of Bab Ksiba (as shown in the photograph) stands an ancient Eucalyptus Tree.The function of the Bab Ksiba gate provides access to the southern end of the Kasbah district of the Medina.

Bab Doukala

Some ancient writers, it is known as an old original name masmodienne which meant, at least until the sixteenth, a large area whose southern boundary was the river Tensift, which included, besides the current region of Doukkala what is today the territories of Abda, of Ahmer, and those of Rehamna Sgharna.The great part of Bab Doukkala all stands in the middle of the wall "Northwest" of Marrakech. It was observed that the plan of Bab Doukkala is unique in its architecture, the open space appeared at the same time a new milestone in the transition elbow.It was in this old fortress Almoravid we will find elements of kinship with "Bab Doukkala. We observe the same plane in Tunis in a pregnant heiress Almohad dynasty: "Bab El-Jdid" built by the Khalif Al-Hafside Watiq in 1276, a second "Bab El-Jdid" in Mahdiya built in the seventeenth century , remained consistent with the tradition.
