Bab al-Barda’in existed as one of the original gates of the fortified city in the 11th century by the Almoravids.

This original medieval gate is partly preserved south of the current gate. The current gate, located at the northern end of the medina, was built under the Alaouite by Sultan Moulay Ismail

The gate is one of the most impressive in the city. It bears strong architectural similarities to Bab el-Khemis, located to the southwest, which dates from the same period. The gate has a simple straight passage (unlike the curved entrances of medieval Moroccan gates) which opens through a horseshoe arch and is flanked by two large square bastions.
