Bab Sagma:
Bab Sagma took its name from Amina Sagma who was a pious and god-fearing, buried on this site in 1737. The gate was erected in the post Merenid epoch and later on renovated by Moulay Hassan the first in order to be symmetrical and similar to Bab Sbaa (the lion gate). Surely, it was a monumental and impressive gate considering the distance between the two towers. Its exterior façade was decorated with long cursive inscriptions on Zellij mosaic tiles. Nowadays, just the two octagonal towers remain on each side of the road leading to the bab sagma cemetery, Bab Boujloud…etc.
