Photographer's Note
---English---
Marrakesh and its countless gates & doors...
A real witness of the refinement of Moroccan Arts & culture, deeply rooted in hearts, time & moroccan soil.
In Muslim Spain, the oriental tradition in architecture found a new breath of fresh air and a new originality that the Almoravid , from Andalusia, transposed in the eleventh century while building Marrakech, and contributing to the birth of the Moorish Moroccan Art.
Largely characterized by three elements: the arabesque with stylized foliage, calligraphy and its representation of verses from the Holy Quran, and the octagon geometric pattern.
Thanks for passing by.

Marrakech et ses mille et une porte
Un tιmoignage vivant du rafinement dune culture et dun ensemble dArts ancrιs dans la terre, dans les curs et dans le temps.
Dans lEspagne musulmane, la tradition orientale en architecture trouve un nouveau souffle et une originalitι que les Almoravides, ΰ partir de lAndalousie, transposeront au XI° siθcle en fondant Marrakech, contribuant ΰ la naissance de lart hispano-mauresque au Maroc.
Largement caractιrisι par trois ιlιments : larabesque au feuillage stylisι et entrelacι, la calligraphie et sa reprιsentation de lιcriture des versets du Coran et le motif gιomιtrique de loctogone.
Trθs bonne journιe.

Very nice! We were just in Morocco. We did not have time to travel to Marrakech. However, I am not sure if we would have seen anything for it was pouring rain for most of the time.

Howdy Hicham,
I am attracted to your Moorish architecture view of this beautiful gate and arch, with its basic brick and mortar work and sturdy wood bolted door.
Well done,
Cheers,
Ray
