Bab Agnaou (Arabic: باب اكناو or باب اڭناو), also transliterated as Bab Agnaw,[1] is one of the best-known gates of Marrakesh, Morocco. Its construction is attributed to the Almohad caliph Abu Yusuf Ya'qub al-Mansur[2] and was completed around 1188[3] or 1190.[4]
The gate was the main public entrance to the royal kasbah (citadel) in the southern part of the medina of Marrakesh.[5] The Kasbah, built by Yaqub al-Mansur, is the site of the nearby El Mansouria Mosque (or Kasbah Mosque) and the Saadian Tombs behind it, as well as the El Badi Palace and the main Royal Palace (Dar al-Makhzen) of the city.[2]
