The Royal Palace reflects 19th century wealth. Built in two periods by a father and a son, the El Bahia Palace is an irregular rectangle. The internal gardens are lush - we saw banana, lemon, and orange trees. The fountains and flowers were intoxicating - jasmine, bougainvillea, cypress, and poinsettias. The tile work is astonishing and the jeweled glass work delightful.
