Situated in the old Kasbah Quarter of Marrakech, the Saadian Tombs were built in the late 16th century by the Saadian Sultan Ahmed el Mansour as the final resting place for himself, three other Sultans and 62 of their family members. The series of 66 elaborately-decorated indoor tombs were only accessible via the mosque next door but were rediscovered and made accessible to visitors in 1917 and have become one of the city's most visited sites. Famed for their ornate decoration, the central mausoleum known as the Hall of Twelve Columns is the most stunning chamber of the complex with high vaulted ceilings, marble columns and intricate mosaics.
