Mosara Garden

Fez, Morocco

The Mosara Garden or el-Mosara (al-Muṣāra) was a vast royal garden to the north of Fes el-Jdid, the historic citadel and palace-city of the Marinid dynasty in Fes, Morocco. The gardens were created by the Marinid sultan Abu Ya'qub Yusuf in 1286 and became famous in part because of a huge noria (waterwheel) that was created to provide it with water. The gardens were abandoned and progressively ruined during the Saadian period (16th-17th centuries) and have since disappeared, leaving only a few traces in what is now the Bab Segma Cemetery as well as the supporting structures for the former noria and the aqueduct it fed.
