On the south side of this passage were located most of the service annexes of the palace, including kitchens, warehouses, the treasury, and stables.[9] On the north side of the passage was the vast reception palace (the El Badi Palace), along with the private quarters of the sultan and his family, their bathhouses (hammams), a private mosque, and the mint.[9] Finally, beyond these structures and further east, were a number of pleasure gardens which occupied the whole eastern side of the kasbah. These included the Crystal Garden (az-zujaj), the garden known as al-Mustaha ("the Desired"), and the Qasr Garden or inner garden.[3][9]:256 The Crystal Garden, located on the east side of the Badi Palace, was for private use by the palace residents.[10] The al-Mustaha garden, to the south, was reportedly open to the public. It included a large water basin which was used for bathing during the summer.[10][9]:256 The Qasr Garden was located south of El Badi Palace and next to Ahmad al-Mansur's private apartments.[11][9]:256 The Ahmad al-Mansur also renovated the vast Agdal Gardens to the south of the kasbah.[9]:256 Lastly, sources from this period also describe and illustrate a tall tower rising from the center of the palaces and visible from afar.
