Rabat, Morocco<\/h2>\n

For over a thousand years, sultans and kings have maintained a palace in Rabat, the nation\u2019s capital. The current palace was built in 1864. The sultan chose the French architects Louis-Paul Pertuzio and F\u00e9lix-Joseph Pertuzio to design the palace.<\/p>\n

A City Within a City<\/h3>\n

In addition to housing the royal family, there are other buildings situation on the complex as well including: a small mosque, a mechouar<\/em> for public ceremonies, living space for the royal family and Moroccan Royal Guard, a college, a cooking school, and a library.<\/p>\n

Tour the palace for an up-close look at Moroccan history. It\u2019s a great way to immerse yourself in the Morocco of centuries past and the Morocco that\u2019s adapting to the 21st<\/sup> century. Don\u2019t miss the Arabic motifs and local horticulture when exploring the extensive gardens.<\/p>\n
