Approximate Almoravid foundation

Marrakech

About 950 yearsfrom c. 1071 CE to 2026

Marrakech was founded by the Almoravids around 1070–1072. Its medina developed into an influential centre of politics, trade and culture. The date is a range rather than a precisely established birthday.

Remember, celebrate, explore

Explore the medina as living heritage. The artwork imagines a storytelling gathering, not a scheduled performance.

Heritage suggestions are not an event schedule. Check current dates and access with local organisers.
