Once-secret resting place of sultans

The Saadian Tombs, dating from the same era as the nearby Badii Palace, are enclosed in an ancient walled garden that was hidden from public view until the French stumbled on it in the 1920s.

There are three ornate pavilions at Saadian Tombs, one containing the graves of 18th-century Alaouite princes, one notable for its portal in Andalucian style, and one – known as the Hall of Twelve Columns – containing the tomb of Sultan Ahmed El-Mansour.
