Vice President Hamid Ansari today visited the historic Mausoleum of Mohammed V who was Sultan of Morocco from 1927-53.
The Mausoleum of Mohammed V is a historical building located on the opposite side of the Hassan Tower on the Yacoub al-Mansour esplanade here in the Moroccan capital.
The Mausoleum has the tombs of the Moroccan king and his two sons, late King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah.
The building is considered a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture, with its white silhouette, topped by a typical green tiled roof.
Its construction was completed in 1971. Hassan II was buried there following his death in 1999.
Ansari also laid a wreath at the Mausoleum and signed in Golden Book.
