The most famous among them is the Kasbah Taourirt.
It belonged to Pacha El Glaoui. It is represented in the new 50 dirham tickets and is classified as a national monument.
The Kasbah Taourirt is located in the city center. A guide will make you visit the house. Many guides have rubbed shoulders with the stars, ours has played with Monica Bellucci.

​

The Kasbah was built in the 17th century in the ancient village of Taourirt, whose medina still exists, just behind the Kasbah. The entry fee: 10 d, and as much for the guide (suggestion).

​

The Kasbah astonishes by its proportions and the serenity that emerges from this place. A gun is always posted in the corner. The walls are adobe and exterior decorations are added.

    The Glaoua were powerful warriors of the Haouz and leaders of Berber tribes, holding mines of manganese and salt. They were the proteges of colonial France. The caïd (chief) Madani El Glaoui becomes Grand Vizier and his younger brother, Thami, Pasha of Marrakech. These appointments leapt at the signing of the protectorate. But the young Thami knows how to appreciate and is very useful, from the status of protected, he becomes one of the pillars of the protectorate.
