Bab Dar Lmekhzen:

Bab Dar Lmakhzen « the Royal Palace Gate » erected in the 1960’s, as the surrounding wall of the royal palace is constituted of parts belonging to many historical eras and pierced by a lot of monumental doors, but this gate remains the main gate of the palace, opening onto a vast esplanade in which the king receives his foreign guests coming to Fez. The gate is characterized by its seven symmetrically arranged doors and windows with rich and varied ornamentation covered by gilt-bronze, the zellij mosaic and flanked with white marble columns.
