On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 18, 2026, a partial collapse occurred at the renowned tourist riad known as "Siline Spa," located in one of the narrow alleyways of the vibrant old city of Marrakech. Fortunately, initial reports indicate that the incident resulted in moderate material damages without any reported injuries, sparing the area from a potentially tragic outcome, especially considering the bustling daily movement of residents and visitors through these narrow streets.
The owners of the riad confirmed that the collapse was limited to a section of the wall, leading to damage to the external structure and some facilities while awaiting a thorough technical assessment to evaluate the extent of the losses. As soon as local authorities were notified of the incident, they promptly secured the surrounding area to prevent any further risks. They also contacted the relevant technical departments, particularly those associated with the Al Omrane company, to dispatch a specialized team tasked with clearing debris and restoring the site to its original condition.
While awaiting the results of the technical investigation, this incident serves as a crucial reminder of the need to enhance monitoring and strengthen preventive measures to ensure the safety of lives and preserve the architectural heritage that forms an integral part of the identity of Marrakech's historic medina.
