Marinid Tombs, Meknes

Marinid Tombs, Meknes (Morocco)

The Marinid Tombs or Merenid Tombs are a set of ruined monumental tombs on a hill above and north of Fes al-Bali the old city of Fez Morocco. They were originally a royal necropolis for the Marinid dynasty which ruled over Morocco in the 13th to 15th centuries. Today they are a popular lookout point over the historic city. There is sparse information available on the site and its history. However the ruined tombs are attributed to the 14th century during the Marinid dynasty hence their name.
