About Saadian Tombs

One of Marrakesh’s most visited attractions are these resplendent royal tombs of Carrara marble. The Saadian Tombs of Sultan Ahmed al-Mansour were discovered in 1917 and restored to their present-day glory. The mausoleum is the final resting place of approximately 60 members of the Saadi Dynasty and the building is comprised of three rooms, the most famous of which is the Chamber of the 12 Pillars.
