The Saadian Tombs in Marrakesh, Morocco, are a historic burial site dating back to the Saadian dynasty, specifically from the reign of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur in the late 16th century. This mausoleum remained hidden for centuries until its rediscovery in 1917. The tombs are renowned for their exquisite architectural details, including intricate stucco work, colorful tile mosaics, and majestic marble columns. The site comprises two main mausoleums and over 100 tombs, housing members of the Saadian dynasty, including Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur himself.
