Agdal Gardens | MARRAKECH

***Redalinho*** · November 23rd, 2009, 06:19 PM

The Agdal Gardens cover about 400 hectares (4.0 km2; 1.5 sq mi) to the south of Dar El Makhzen, the Royal Palace, and the medina in Marrakech, Morocco. Their name derives from the Berber language for "walled meadow".

The gardens were created as an orchard by Abd el Moumen of the Almohad dynasty in the 12th century.

They were renovated by the Saadi dynasty and then enlarged during the reign of Moulay Abderrahmane in the 19th century, when they were enclosed with pisé walls.

Extending for some 3 kilometres (1.9 mi), the gardens include groves of orange, lemon, fig, apricot and pomegranate trees in rectangular plots, linked by olive-lined walkways.

Together with the medina of Marrakech and the Menara Gardens, the Agdal Gardens were listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1985.
