dc.descriptionWhite walls enclose a courtyard; green tiled roofs and green tilework around window openings; minaret (Andalucian style, similar to Seville); horseshoe-arched entry portal with elaborate stone carving. built by Mohammed ben Adallah (Muhammad bin Adullah) at the end of the 18th C; restored by King Hassan II (reg 1961-1999) [Pickens and Saharoff]This is the main artery of Rabat, running from intersecting Avenue Laalou in the north, where one of the city gates was demolished, and ending at the Jamaa Al-Souna in the South. It encompasses what used to be known as rue el Gza, Bab Jdid and Bab Teben, avenue Dar el Makhzen, cours Lyautey and avenue des Touarga. A primarily residential area, it became the administrative center of Morocco under the French protectorate. It runs through the old Medina and the Ville Nouvelle and was conceived by city planners working under Marshal Lyautey as a means to join the traditional and modern parts of the city. The first commercial construction began in 1915, and it became an administrative center when construction started buildings for the operations of the French authorities. The Parliament, Central Bank, main strain station, Central Post Office, are all found along this street, in between gardens, cafes, palm trees and shopping. In the Protectorate era a tram ran the length of the Avenue. A new system was restored to the Avenue in 2011.en_US
