"UNESCO World Heritage Moulay Ismail, who ruled from 1672 until his death in 1727 at the age of eighty-one, was one of the greatest of the Moroccan sultans, one of the most powerful and effective, and one of the cruelest. He is said to have had more than 500 women in his harem, by whom he had around 800 children. The sultan, who was protected by a special Black Guard of soldiers, built a colossal complex of palaces in his "imperial city" of Meknes as radiations of his glory. He greatly admired his contemporary Louis XIV of France, and suggested that the king become a Muslim. He also asked-unsuccessfully for one of Louis's daughters as a wife. His palaces were intended to rival Versailles. Moulay Ismail surrounded Menes with 15 miles (25 km) of huge walls; their magnificent gates included the overpowering Bab el-Mansour (Gate of the Conqueror). His city had mosques, barracks, beautiful gardens, and a zoo. His building works were carried out by a labor force of 2,500 Christian slaves and 30,000 Moroccan rebels and criminals, who were viciously ill treated. Those who died were used as additional building material for the walls. The mausoleum was begun by Moulay Ismail. A succession of courtyards with central fountains and notable tiles and stucco work leads to a chamber containing the sultan's tomb and those of his favorite wife, Lalla Khnouata, and two of his sons, who became sultans after him. The fine French clocks were a present from Louis XIV. The mausoleum was restored in the 1950s by King Mohammed V of Morocco, who decided it should be open to non-Muslim visitors. The Historic City of Menes represents, in an exceptionally complete and well-preserved manner, the urban fabric and monumental buildings of a seventeenth-century Maghreb capital city. It combines Islamic and European design and planning in a harmonious fashion."
