Part 1 here.
Moving on through Chellah we got to the Arab ruins part of it. Here as every where there were lots of cats. I wanted to take all of them home and turn them into spoiled first world cats.
Storks were nesting in the ruins. I didn't see any storks alas, but I was fascinated by the nests.
This part of the ruins used to be a religious school.
Grave.
Necropolis.
There was an eel pond right by the necropolis. According to the guide, who was difficult to understand so I transmit a garbled story, some queen buried in the Necropolis, tried to grab power for her children and either became an eel or died and then became an eel. Either way there was power grabbing and an eel. According to the guide, you can throw coins into the pool and make a wish. According to the Lonely Planet, you can feed eggs to the eels to increase your fertility.
Saint tombs outside the mosque ruins.
