  • Stunning palace without the tourists. Probably the best kept secret in town. Definitely worth visiting. The gatekeeper is also an accomplished artist and exhibits his paintings in one of the rooms.
  • An old palace, occupied by an artist. I am sure it has a great architectural value, but not a very impressive place to visit by paying 25dh... Did not see the value!
