Andalusian Gardens

The Andalusian Gardens sit inside the Kasbah of the Udayas, on the terraced grounds of a 17th-century palace built for Moulay Ismail. The current design is French — laid out around 1915 by the Resident-General's gardeners in a Spanish-Moorish idiom of box hedges, orange trees, cypresses, and bougainvillea around a small pool. A discreet entrance from the main kasbah lane leads through the palace courtyard and down into the garden; from the lower level you can look back up at the ramparts and across to the Bou Regreg.
