Description
Morocco: Courtyards and Gardens presents the three principle types of gardens, the simple and elegant paved patio form of the ouest-ed-dar of urban houses, mosques and medersas; the more elaborately planted riyad of palaces and country estates; and the agdal -an open, cultivated landscape.
Featured are the renowned El Badi Palace and the restored gardens of the Arsat El Mamoun in Marrakech, the Kasbah of the Oudayas in Rabat and sequestered mosques and medersas in Fez and Marrakech. Descriptions of the landscape and history of Morroco, place these gardens in the context of a truely unique cultural tradition that incorporates ancient Roman, Moresque and Asian influences.
