The Bahia Palace is renowned for the richness of its architecture. Its recent construction (19th century) was inspired by Arabic and Andalusian styles. The vizier Sidi Moussa, at the head of the Moroccan kingdom wanted the construction of a luxurious residence for the pleasure of one of his companions. He then offered a palace consisting of about 160 rooms! This would therefore provide an explanation for the name of the monument meaning \u201cpalace of the beautiful\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
