El Glaoui Palace in Taza

I found the palace amazing.

Stunning palace without the tourists. Probably the best kept secret in town. Definitely worth visiting. The gatekeeper is also an accomplished artist and exhibits his paintings in one of the rooms.

It looks really nice inside but theres no info about the price until you leave this place whats kinda scam for me

This palace, surprisingly ousted from tourist circuits, is well worth a visit. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, it served as a residence for the Glaoui of Marrakech when he traveled to Fez. It has not been used since the 1950s but retains zelliges, worked stucco, magnificent doors... Abdou, a plastic artist with a singular personality, was born there and still lives there. He will be happy to introduce you to the place by telling you its story. He also exhibits his works in the palace, which gives it a charming squat side of artists.

مناظر من قصر الگلاوي بمدينة فاسدار أو قصر باشا مراكش "التهامي الكلاوي" (1879–1956 م)،الذي شيده بفاس .كما شيد قصرا آخر بمراكش يعرف بدار الباشا و كان له دور كبير في توهج قصبة تلوات في إقليم ورزازات

بعد وفاة الباشا الكلاوي سنة 1956، تمت مصادرة جميع ممتلكاته لبعض الوقت، ثم عادت لملكية الورثة بعد ذلك، لكن القصر بحاجة اليوم إلى الإصلاح والترميم من أجل بث الحياة فيه، فجدرانه وزخارفه البهية التي مازالت تحافظ على جماليتها ورونقها تعد من أجمل ما أبدعت أيدي الصانع الفاسي، ومازالت مرافقه تأسر زواره رغم مرور عشرات السنين على تشييده.

Bonito, em toda a tristeza de uma ruína. Aparenta zero investimento na manutenção ou restauro de um monumento que teria tudo para ser um ícone. Se estiverem com pouco tempo ou este sítio ficar isolado, no vosso itinerário, não percam tempo. Se estiverem curiosos, paguei 25D.

Très joli palais, nous étions les seuls visiteurs. Le propriétaire très sympathique présent sur les lieux pourra vous parler de lhistoire du palais quil essaie de préserver, malheureusement cela demande beaucoup dargent.25dh lentrée, vous pouvez vous garer dans la rue voisine en léchange dune pièce

Un très beau palais, qui retrace lhistoire du Maroc

Visita obligada, si bien desencanta su mal llevada conservación, aun se advierten la gloria y esplendor de mejores épocas. Luego, aprovechas para una caminata por el barrio judio. Las fotos se las dejo a ustedes.

Es un edificio magnífico pero muy decadente. Alberga una curiosidad: es el lugar de exposición y trabajo de un famoso pintor abstracto. La entrada son 25dh

Lovely

If something good happens, travel to celebrate it. If something wrong happens, travel to forget. If nothing happens, travel to make it happen.Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life is not meant to be lived in one place.Welcome to enjoy your trip in Morocco with Visit Morocco Sahara - Travel Company in Morocco

Must see!

It is a hidden jewel of Fez. It is completely original without restored, the architecture, the art...everything is amazing. Not many tourists there during my visit, I guess it is not in the top lists of tourist attractions. The guardian Mr Abdou is an artist with his Galary inside the palace. It is a very nice Galary. It is the best experience of my visit in Fez.

Exceeded expectations. For 25 dirhams, this spectacular crumble palace is well worth your time. Plus you can chat with Abdou :)

Didnt enter but from the courtyard and entrance looked absolutely stunning.

Déception. Il est laissé à labandon. Un peintre et son molosse squatte les lieux ou alors cest le gardien de la mémoire ? Un charme quand même.

Need to be restored

I am taking you today to BHALIL : the charm of the night,located at an altitude of 2550 feet and only 16 miles distant from Fez Morocco.In this village up to now live 44 families in TROGLODIT houses.

Beautiful historic palace. Just to add a note, the man who watches the front entrance and takes your money to enter the palace is also the artist whose paintings are going through out there entire palace complex.

Google map drives us to get lost and come to the wrong direction after 2 hours for estimated 10 minutes walking. Far from main spots. Badly maintained. In all, It is so far to be a palace and not worth few hours to come

Beaucoup démotionCest lhistoire dun palais qui attend sa renaissance. Nous avons été accueillis par Abdel-Khalek Boukhars qui vit reclus dans le palais fantomatique de ses ancêtres. De nombreux salons abritent lexposition de peintures du maître des lieux. On imagine le faste dantan, la beauté de ce palais au temps de sa splendeur. En partant nous avons laissé ce que nous voulions pour la visite, rien ne nous a été demandé. On espère vraiment un mécène pour voir ce palais renaître.

We think weve arrived and are pretty sure were in the right place because of the news articles blown up at the door. We enter a construction zone but find the courtyard where the artist (and resident?was praying. After he noticed us, he warmly let us in. We paid 50 dirham for the both of us.Its an interesting place to visit. Its falling apart but I also think that adds to the charm. There was a lot of his art that I think you can buy.Dont be alarmed if its closed, I think he just goes about his day and opens when hes there. He walked us out and closed down as soon as we left.

Everything was closed despite we were there at Thursday at ~13-14h. And no sign explaining why.

The Google Maps location is on the wrong side!! Don’t follow the directions as they bring you to the wrong location.Once you find it, fascinating place worth checking out

Ok

Cant go in

Palacio muy deteriorado. En su momento, debe haber sido puro lujo, pero ahora es puras ruinas y sin ganas de testaurarlo.

Special piece of history; but it is not well maintained.The guardian of the building , who is also an artist, applies prices randomly.

Very charming, grand house in disrepair. Worth visiting

Place to avoid, far away from main spots, difficult to find and badly maintained.Lazy clerk who rest on his couch among old stuff and junk not moving a muscle while pretending us to pay a fee.A total waste of time.

Beautiful and peaceful building; the best place we visited in Fes. It is completely relaxed, with a large display of art by the building resident, and some other interesting quirks such as a record and camera collection. Yes the building is falling apart in some places, but it really adds to the charm. Also a gorgeous dog on the premises!

Closed until 2019

Magnifique. Une merveille orientale malheureusement en grande partie en ruine. Le gardien des lieux, peintre contemporain revisitant le pointillisme, tente depuis des années de réhabiliter et restaurer ce lieu. Un travail titanesque quil entreprend avec sérénité et humilité .Le palais réservé aux femmes est digne des Mille et unes nuits et on se prend à rêver et à le peupler de silhouettes

Incredible place. Needs some finding and some funding

Very unpleasant guide/owner.

Needs much work, not worth the price of admission

Needs a lot of work.

In sitio muy único pues a pasar de necesitar mucho mantenimiento en el estado actual, ofrece una idea de la grandeza original del edificio y espacios para fotos espectaculares.

Un peu difficile à trouver. En visitant cet ancien palais fassi, on imagine la vie des occupants du debut du siecle dernier. Dommage que certaines parties tombent en ruine. Le proprietaire est toujours sur les lieux, et tente de lentretenir comme il peut. 25 DH pour la visite, mais mérite quon sy arrête.

Un palais magnifique, mais qui tombe en ruine à cause du manque de budget. La visite est gratuite, les visiteurs ont le choix de ce quils donnent, ce qui permettra de le rénover. Lhomme qui occupe ce palais est atypique, sérieux, et intéressant. Vraiment, faîtes le, ça en vaux le détour. Magnifique collection dappareil photo et de caméscope, de lumière pour allumer la scène. Le gérant vous laisse prendre toute les photos que vous souhaitez, et vous pouvez même rester dans son palais qui est parfaitement isolé (on nentend que lappel à la prière), il fait frais, cest un endroit génial quand on veut se poser une dizaine de minutes au calme.

Nice place, but not very special. An artist lives there and exhibits his paintings, which are also quite nice.

Very interesting

Up the hill and hard to find but worth it for 25 dirham each. Finally, an attraction in Fes non-Muslims can actually enter! Don’t miss any of the rooms and especially not the hidden courtyard behind the kitchen. And the room with the stained glass accessible from that courtyard. :)

One of the hidden gems of Fez. A beautiful old palace with an old Artist living there.

A very interesting attraction. The man that lives there said his family has owned it for over 200 years and its the most interesting and beautiful building we visited in Fes. It is a bit run down but that adds to the charm and we received a bit of a personal tour as we were the only ones thereThere was no-one at the door to take an entrance fee, but the owner/guide escorted us to the front and I asked him how much we owed. We didnt feel any pressure to pay, and its not clear there was a fee so we werent really sure what the story was until I asked. We paid 60 dirhams for two people

Beautiful place. You need a guide. The woman at the door told us the entrance plus guided tour was 25 DH each, but gave us no tickets. Make sure you pay the right price. She was very nice though as a guide. She walked us through the ground rooms which were impressive. The top floor rooms cannot be visited.An artist lives there apparently.The family who owns the palace restaurates one room per year with the raised funds.

The palace is very interesting. Artists live in the palace and try to maintain it. The price of admission is used for maintaining / restoring the palace. The entry price includes a guide. It makes sense to have a guide given most of the palace is not open to viewing.

The very essence of faded grandeur
