Telouet Kasbah

Telouet Kasbah (Berber: ⵉⵖⵔⵎ ⵏ ⵜⵍⵡⴰⵜ; Arabic: قصبة تلوات; French: Casbah de Télouet) is a kasbah in the north of Ouarzazate Province in Morocco. It is located along the former route of the caravans from the Sahara over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakesh. The kasbah was the seat of the El Glaoui family's power, thus sometimes also called the Palace of Glaoui. Its construction started in 1860 and it was further expanded in later years. The palace can still be visited but it is steadily becoming more damaged and is slowly collapsing. In 2010, work was underway to restore the property.
