Chefchaouen Attractions
Being in the heart of the city of Chefchaouen, Morocco is near many of the important attractions
of the city.
The Medina - A whole district and section of
the city this is really the "old city" and where you can
turn a corner and find yourself in the world of 1500!
Traditional Moroccan architecture is blended with a
Spanish influence on the tile work and of course the
famed blue walls which are a tribute to our Jewish
heritage as well.
Grand Mosque - With it's unusual octagonal
tower this 15th century building is closed to non
worshipers but offers grand views from the outside for
visitors as well.
The Kasbah - Now restored as the
Musée de Chefchaouen, it was opened in its present
state in 1985 and holds several galleries that explain
the history of the city.
Ruins of the Spanish Mosque - So called
because it was funded by donations from Spain this
hillside mosque is now a ruin that can be visited by
walking uphill for about one hour out of the Western
gate of Bab el-Ain.
