1126 علبريد الزعيم المرابطي علرين يوسف حيث أحاط المدينة بدائرة من الأسوان ومن المحتمل أن يكون السبب وراء هذا القرار هو الخوف من التهديدات القادمة من دولة الموحدين، وبحسب ما ورد فقد كان قاضي قرطبة الوليد بن رثم هو من أقدم أمير المرابطين انذاك ببنائها، وبعد دخول الموحدين الى المدينة تم بناء الشطر الثاني منها لحماية القصبة جنوبا في نهاية القرن الثالث بنيت اسوار مراكز الأول مرة عام 6 عشر الميلادي لتشمل المنطقة الشمالية المحياة بالزاوية العباسية وفي عهد الدولة السعدية تم بناء الشطر الشرقي المدينة أسوار قصر البديم وباب احمر .وتلك المحيطة بقصر الباهية

Remparts de Marrakech
Les Remparts de Marrakech ont été construits pour la première fois en 1126 par le chef Almoravide Ali Ben Youssef, qui a entouré la ville d'un cercle de murs defencifs, et cette décision a probablement été causée par la peur des menaces de l'État Almohade, et c'est apparemment le juge de Qortoba, Walid Ben Rochd, qui a persuadé l'émir almoravide de les construire. Après l'entrée des Almohades dans la ville, la deuxième partie de celle-ci a été construite pour protéger la Kasbah au sud à la fin du XIIIe siècle après JC pour inclure la zone nord entourant la Zaouïa Abbasside et à l'époque de l'État Saadien la partie orientale des murs de la ville a été construite, les remparts du palais Badii et Bab Hmer et ceux entourant le palais de la Bahia.
Walls of Marrakech
The walls of Marrakesh were first built in 1126 by the Almoravid leader Ali Ben Youssef, who ordered to surround the city by a circle of walls, and this decision was probably caused by fear of threats from the Almohad state, and it was reported that the judge of Qortoba, Walid Ben Roshd, who persuaded the Almoravid Emir to build the walls. After the entry of the Almohads to the city, the second part of the walls was built to protect the Kasbah in the south at the end of the thirteenth century AD to include the northern area surrounding the Abbasid Zawiya. However, in the era of the Saadian state, the eastern part of the walls was built; the walls of the Badii Palace and Bab Hmer and those surrounding the Bahia Palace.
