Meknes stables

This structure was originally built to woo the daughter of Louis XIV. The offer was refused since Moulay Ismail already had 500 wives! So it was transformed into stables which apparently housed over 1,200 horses. Outside this building is a beautiful stretch of water that is now surrounded by walkways where people can be seen taking a stroll. The first time I saw the stables; it was nightttime and everything was lit up. It was a striking sight.
