The earthquake cracked and crumbled parts of the walls that surround Marrakech's old city, a UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 12th century. The city is Morocco's most widely visited destination, known for its palaces, spice markets, tanneries and Jemaa El Fna, its noisy square full of food vendors and musicians.
At a meeting of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee in Riyadh, assistant director general Ernesto Ottone R. said a first damage assessment mission was dispatched to Marrakech on Saturday.
The Medina of Marrakech was inscribed on UNESCO'S World Heritage List in 1985.
