The Kasbah of Taourirt: by its importance, its architecture and its decoration, it is one of the most beautiful Kasbahs of Morocco (classified historical monument). It was the largest residence of Glawi, the pasha of Marrakesh.
Its buildings of cob flanked by notched towers, are staged on superimposed levels, and ramparts with geometrical drawings. Possible to visit some of Glaoui’s old apartments, like the dining room (...), that kept their original decoration of painted stucco and their wooden cedar ceilings.
From the terrace, remarkable view on the Berber fortified village of Taourirt (anterior to the city of Ouarzazate, dating from the XIIIth century), the valley and its oases in addition to the mountains
ornate the horizon.
