The Royal Palace of Fez, or Fes Dar el-Makhzen, once served as the primary residence of the sultan and continues to be used by the King of Morocco when he visits Fez. Enclosed by high walls, the palace covers an expansive 195 acres (80 hectares). Visitors, while unable to enter, can marvel at the intricate and imposing main entrance, a testament to the grandeur within. The detailed craftsmanship and ornate design of the gateway offer a glimpse into the rich history and architectural splendor of this royal abode.
