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
Mus�e 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.
