Mausoleum and the Sakrophag of Mohammed, a photo from Rabat-Sale, Nord

Photographer's Note

Mausoleum and the Sakrophag of Mohammed V
(In the workshop a view to the sakrophag)

The Mausoleum of Mohammed V contains the tombs of the Moroccan king and his two sons, late King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. It is located on the opposite side of the Hassan Tower on the Yacoub al-Mansour esplanade in Rabat, Morocco. The building is considered a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture, with its white silhouette, topped by a typical green tiled roof. Its construction was completed in 1971. Hassan II was buried there following his death in 1999.

Mohammed V was Sultan of Morocco from 1927 to 1953, exiled from 1953-55, where he was again recognized as Sultan upon his return, and King from 1957 to 1961. He was the son of Sultan Yusef, upon whose death he succeeded to the throne. He was a member of the Alaouite Dynasty.

Hallo Achim,
sehr schön und mit interessanten architektonischen Details Deine Aufnahme,
die bunt gekleideten Frauen machen das Foto noch schöner,
eine Kleinigkeit noch,ich glaube es wäre besser wenn du 1-2 cm von unten abgeschnitten hättest und dafür mehr 'Luft' nach oben,
Viele Grüße,
Dimitris.
