You can identify Bab Agnaou by its heavy, horseshoe archway, faced in distinct bluish-grey sandstone that has weathered over eight centuries into a warm, reddish hue. Unlike the simple clay-built gates common to the city walls, this monument is defined by its ornate, concentric stone carvings, including floral motifs and a formal frieze of Kufic calligraphy that frames the entrance.
