5. The Kasbah is located on the Place de Outa El-Hamman, right next to the Grand Mosque, in the city of Chefchaouen, in northern Morocco. This majestic Kasbah was built in the 15th century, more precisely during the year 1471, by Rachid Ben Ali. At that time, the attacks of the Christians were very repeated, to seize Morocco. This is why the resistance mobilized and Banu Rashid declared Holy War; soon after, the same Banu family built this imposing Kasbah to protect the city. This Kasbah was composed of a mosque (Jama El Kebir) and various nearby dwellings, which were in turn surrounded and protected by a wall, thus forming the center of the city of Chefchaouen, which developed very quickly. The ethnological museum of the city of Chefchaouen: today, the Kasah of Chaouen is in very good condition. Inside the latter is the ethnological museum of Chaouen, which offers a large collection of popular art and artisanal pieces from northern Morocco.

About Tangier

Tangier sits where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a storied Moroccan port of whitewashed medina lanes, a hilltop kasbah and views to Spain.

The medina climbs from the port to the kasbah, where the old sultan's palace, Dar el Makhzen, holds a museum with views across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Grand Socco and Petit Socco were long the meeting points of the city, and their cafés recall Tangier's decades as an international zone that drew writers, musicians and artists.
