Bab Mahrouq:
Bab Mahrouq « the burned one gate » was called before as Bab Charia’a “the law gate”. In fact, it has been called Bab Mahrouq, due to two turbulent real stories: the first one takes Sidi Lissan-Addine Belkhatib as the protagonist; he was a learned scholar, poet and friend of Ibn Khaldun, after being murdered in his cell in Fes jail in 1374, his body was burned at this gate, because he was accused of being a heretic (A person who holds religious beliefs in conflict with the dogma of a religion); Later on, in front of this gate, a small mausoleum was built in his honour.
The second story has another protagonist who is Al Oubeidi (a leader of Rif Ghomara tribe); an opponent of Sultan Al-Nacir Ben Youssef Al Mansour who was by his turn burned in this gate as a warning to all the opponents of the Sultan. So the change in name is attributed to those two people.
The gate was erected at the beginning of the 13th century under the reign of the Sultan Al-Nacir Ben Youssef Al Mansour while the process of rebuilding the surrounding wall that had partially destroyed by his grandfather, the caliph Abdelmoumen.
