Merenid Tombs

Merenid Tombs (outskirts of Fez) — looming above the northern walls of the Fez Medina are the skeletal remains of the Merenid Tombs. Built in the 14th century, the tombs were once the sumptuous resting places of the Merenids’ finest, but after years at the mercy of conquests and looters, they lack most of their original decorative charm. What the remaining tombs lack in aesthetics, though, the view makes up for them.
