The Royal Palace, formerly known as the Imperial Palace or "dar el-makhzen," in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, stands as the primary royal residence in the country, serving as the official dwelling for the Moroccan royal family. Initially constructed as the palace for Alawite sultans, it now represents one of several palaces or royal residences within the "imperial cities," such as the Skhirat Palace, which gained notoriety during an attempted coup d'état in the era of King Hassan II. Presently, the Royal Palace of Rabat functions primarily as an administrative building, as King Mohammed VI, the son of Hassan II, does not inhabit the premises . It is within this palace that the seat of government is situated.
