MOROCCO MONUMENTS FOR VISITING - EL MANSORIYA RISSANI -MERZOUGUA

This is a kind of boiling down some information taken from some aged people , there have been many historian did not take into account a sundry of monuments that have a profound date in life . Our direction is southeast to take a look over certain areas that contain several breathtaking places . Ksar El mansoriya is one of the preminent villages, but it is quite tiny one , it was full of people ; still , most of whom had chosen to immigrate to the medina , looking for best life now that they guessed living in village is not well-enough . To let my eyes perceive all things , I tried to walk out the place exactly by myself to assemble information ,and take pictures .
To begin with , allow us first go straight to observe the prime monument itself and take down details about it.




What is being offered above is a monument which had been called by the tongue of natives is the big door ( الباب الكبير) ,or 7 threshold .( سبعة عتبة ) .It is consisting of 7 arches , each one of them takes a stream ,and can guides to other villages . There was a link between #KSAR EL MANSORIYA ,and #KSAR TABOUAASAMT since many peasants were working there for a loaf of bread in order to carry on in life .
           

           One day ,a guider walked with  strangers whom were very  interested in questing  about information ; however,  with their book warm and their reading about culture  , they discovered what had been uncovered in certain references around  the big door or the gate of fes  .In depth study , they said the place dates back to  ALAWIYAT STATE, when there were several wars between tribes searching for the leadership  .Humor has it said that this gate established  by a man who is called YOUSSEF YAAKOUB EL MANSOR  . His name is extremely connotes to the name of the village ( ksar el mansoriya ) .
The gate is now menaced since some parts of it demoleshed because of natural factors .


Another point worth noting is that El mansoriya is not vacate ,whereas there is one more monument.





This gate is what remains from the tremendous mosque of SIJILMASSA . Being ruined , this gate has abandoned fragements  near to the new mosque which have been calling it via natives the big mosque .depending on certain details , the mosque had been founded in the time of the era of YOUSSEF YAAKOUB EL MANSOR .


I would simply conclude by saying
We need nothing; nonetheless  ,we seek those people ( scholars  , historian .....),who are very intriguing  in culture to take care of historical monuments to preserve its framework .
