The Secret Garden

Details of the activity

Since March 2016, a new museum has opened in Marrakech, it is the Secret Garden. When we walk in the medina of Marrakech, it is impossible for us to imagine that in the rue Mouassine, where it is located, hides such an architectural and floral masterpiece. The origins of the complex date back to the time of the Saadian dynasty, more than four hundred years ago. Rebuilt in the mid-19th century by an influential Atlas kingpin, Le Jardin Secret has been the home of some of the highest political figures in Morocco and Marrakech. The Secret Garden, which we can fully appreciate today thanks to its recent restoration, is part of the great tradition of Arab-Andalusian and Moroccan palaces. The visitor can thus discover the gardens and the buildings which compose it and which constitute as many exceptional testimonies of Islamic art and architecture.
