This religious edifice, closed to non-Muslims, shelters the grave of Sidi Bel Abbès (1130-1207), Marrakech's patron saint, and one of the seven specially-revered saints of the city. For centuries, a yearly pilgrimage has been devoted to those seven historical figures. Sidi Bel Abbès, who dedicated his life to religion, is the protective figure of the poor, who come to his zaouïa looking for help and begging for the generosity of believers.
