Summary
| Description |
English: Plan of the Badi Palace in Marrakesh (misidentified here as Fez) drawn by Jacob Golius (1596-1667), who accompanied the 1622 Dutch embassy to Morocco.
The plan only published later by British ambassador John Windus, who went on an embassy to Marrakesh to repatriate British captives, in his 1725 book "A Journey to Mesquinez, the Residence of the Present Emperor of Fez and Morocco, on the Occasion of Commodore Stewart’s Embassy Thither for the Redemption of the British Captives in the Year 1722". It's been published in other books and sources about Marrakesh since then, but see information (including the original key for the letters) conveniently at: http://blog.yalebooks.com/2020/09/24/a-16th-century-portuguese-plan-of-a-moroccan-palace/ The plan shows the gardens, fountains, columns, and water basins of the palace, which was essentially a giant riad courtyard with pavilions and major rooms on all four sides, aligned with the four central axes of the courtyard. |
