La Joconde

Many tourists who go to Morocco will visit the four imperial cities, the Sahara, the Blue City Chefchaouen, Casablanca, and Tangier, the closest city to Spain, but it seems easy to overlook Tetouan❗
T&eacute;touan is a city in northwestern Morocco, 46 ​​kilometers southeast of Tangier and 10 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. It is the capital of Tetouan Province. A famous city in Morocco&#39;s history.
In the 9th century AD, Arabs lived here.
In the 14th century, the Marinid Dynasty built fortifications and fortresses, which were later destroyed by the Spaniards.
In the 16th century, Andalusian Moors lived here.
It was occupied by Spain twice in 1860 and 1913, and returned to Morocco in 1956.
The existing ancient city site has 3 city walls, 7 city gates, 36 mosques and chapels. In 1997, it was listed as a cultural heritage in the World Heritage List by UNESCO. The industrial, commercial and cultural center of the northern region. The industry is mainly handicrafts and light industry, including cement, textiles, food, etc., and is famous for its refined handicrafts. There are many gardens, fountains and mosques in the city.
There are a lot of peace doves in the square, and the city logo is a white dove. The city is white, clean and orderly. The price is super low. Go to the Royal Palace Square for a cup of coffee or tea, which costs 6 dirhams.
Compared with other cities, the people have very white skin and obvious European ancestry. In the past, Spain 🇪🇸 colonized, so in addition to Arabic and French, Spanish is also common.
This is a city that must be passed from Chefchaouen to Tangier, an hour&#39;s drive from Chefchaouen. Therefore, friends who have arrived in northern Morocco must not miss this beautiful white town full of Moorish love and hatred!
