The Bahia Palace, whose name means "The beautiful", is an ornate and beautiful palace and a set of gardens, built in the late 19th century, by Si Moussa, grand vizier of the sultan, for his personal use, this palace would bear the name of one of his wives and intended to be the greatest palace of its time. There is a 2 acre (8,000 m²) garden with plants and flowers and 150 rooms opening onto courtyards. Though only a portion of the palace is open to the public, you can see the unfurnished, opulently ornamented harem that once housed Bou Ahmed’s four wives and 24 concubines. The quarters of his favorite, Lalla Zineb, are the most spectacular, with original woven-silk panels, stained-glass windows, intricate marquetry and ceilings painted with rose bouquets. Bahia’s story is an interesting one as a warlord Pasha Glaoui claimed the palace to entertain French who were so impressed that 3 years later, kicked out the Pasha Glaoui and turned the palace into the home of the protectorate’s résident-généraux.
