The Saadian Tombs are a royal mausoleum in Marrakesh, Morocco, located on the south side of the Kasbah Mosque within the royal citadel district. Built in the Moorish style, largely in stucco, during the reign of Ahmad al-Mansur (1578–1603) of the Saadian dynasty, the complex is regarded by many art historians as the high point of Saadian-period Moroccan architecture for its luxurious decoration and careful interior design. It is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
