Bab Agnaou (Arabic باب اكناو) is one of the nineteen gates of Marrakech, Morocco. It was built in the 12th century in the time of the Almohad dynasty.〔 While Bab er Robb was the official entrance to the city, Bab Agnaou gives entrance to the royal kasbah in the southern part of the medina of Marrakech.〔 The kasbah, built by the Almohad sultan Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, is the site of El Mansouria (the kasbah mosque), the El Badi Palace and the Saadian Tombs. ==Etymology== The most common theory is that the name ''Agnaou'', like Gnaoua, is thought to come from the Berber word for 'black people'. This can be explained by the gate facing south, away from Arab and Berber North Africa and towards sub-Saharan Africa. Some sources dispute this and translate ''Agnaou'' from Berber as 'the mute ram without horns'.〔〔 ''Bab'' (, (アラビア語:باب)) comes from the Arabic meaning 'Gate' or 'Door'. The gate was called Bab al Kohl (also referring to black people) or Bab al Qsar (palace gate) in some historical sources. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bab Agnaou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
