Meknes is one of the four imperial cities in Morocco. One interesting site is the Royal Stables, built in the 18th century by slaves working under the direction of the sultan, Moulay Ismael. It was to stable the sultan's 12,000 horses. Later in the 18th century an earthquake destroyed the roof, so the stables are now open to the sky. A massive granary is attached, to hold the horses' food.
Bab Mansour Lalouj is the impressive gate to the imperial city.
