Bath Sets by JAGM

A friend of me recently sent me her travel adventures in the city of Morocco.  She shared about the unique scenery in the outdoors areas. One description was of a large outdoor plaza within the walls of the Kasbah. The floor was covered with huge rugs as they prepared for some kind of evening event.   She describes a room called the rooms of the wives. The windows had bars of heavy iron segments covering them.  The purpose of the heavy iron work was to prevent the outside world from seeing in while the wives could see out.

Once in the room, it was easy to see the windows were designed for just that. They were positioned in such a way that someone could easily sit in a chair and see out the window. There were windows positioned to overlook the plaza so the women could watch the goings on during events there. More windows were built into all the other outside facing walls where the wife or wives could see the valleys and mountains surrounding them. The views were breathtaking. The rooms were aglow with aromatic candles.   As beautifully tiled, furnished and decorated these rooms once were, the room left a feeling of seclusion, and area imagery was a reminder of centuries of changes.
