| Resumo: | As the main seat of the Marinid dynasty in al-Maġrib al-Aqṣā, New Fez had all the religious, civil and military facilities necessary for the performance of its functions. It also followed the model of other capitals in the Islamic West in featuring a large estate used for the ruler’s enjoyment, welcoming emissaries, and supervising the troops. Although most elements have disappeared, some archaeological structures of great importance still remain. This paper presents them, highlighting two particularly noteworthy structures: a large waterwheel and a monumental aqueduct. |
