| Marrakech, in western Morocco, is an important commercial city as well as a rail terminus and a road and caravan center. Founded in 1062, Marrakech has been a center of trade throughout its history, and was also the southern capital of the sultans. As a result, the city’s old section has noteworthy ancient buildings, mosques, royal palaces, and tombs. The modern part of the city was built in 1913 after the French occupied the country. | ||||||
