The beautiful Medina of Fez is a walled city built
in the 9th century, which was once the capital of Morocco and
remains a highly spiritual site. The compact medina is littered with monuments
from the 13th and 14th centuries, when Fez was the most
influential city in Morocco, these include beautiful mosques, palaces and
madrasas. Fez also offers an authentic experience of medieval life, with
streets too narrow for modern transport and traditional ways of life living on
in workshops, tanneries and craft shops which still flourish to this day. The
narrow streets and authentic atmosphere make Fez an intriguing place to visit.
