Built for Grand Vizier Si Moussa, Bahia Palace means 'brilliance' and lives up to its name with sprawling gardens, marble courtyards, and rooms adorned with stucco, zellij, and painted wood. The palace was designed to be the greatest of its era, with a layout that leads visitors through a series of intimate spaces. Today, it offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of 19th-century Moroccan nobility, with highlights including the grand courtyard with orange trees and the harem quarters.
