WELCOME TO TETOUANE

Tétouan, in addition to being a commercial city, has a robust economy based on handicrafts and light industries. It has a music school, many craft schools, national museums of archaeology and traditional arts, as well as an archival library and archive. The road network connects it to the city of Tangier (Tanger), Al-Hocema, and Ouazzane. Cereals (mostly wheat), citrus fruits (especially oranges), tea, sheep, goats, cattle, cork, and olive trees are among the agricultural goods farmed in the surrounding area .

WHAT TO DO AND SEE IN TETOUAN

1. VISIT THE ANCIENT MADINA

   Tetouan's medina is one of Morocco's smallest, yet it is also one of the most complete in the nation. The UNESCO World Heritage Site has been declared for the Spanish-influenced medina, which has remained virtually untouched since the 17th century with the exception of a few contemporary renovations. Wandering across the country's diverse ethnic regions, which include Andalusian, Berber, and Jewish communities, allows visitors to experience Moroccan history firsthand. Tetouan's old town is protected by five kilometres of rampart walls with crenellations and seven outstanding entrances. According to folklore, the city was destroyed by the Spanish in 1400 and rebuilt by the Islamic Moors who fled there during the 15th-century Reconquista. Their architectural influence may be seen in the white Andalusian houses that have remained almost untouched since the 17th century, as well as in the surrounding enviroment.

2. THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM IS NUMBER TWO

   The Archaeological Museum, situated in the city centre, displays artefacts discovered in ancient settlements around Northern Morocco. This includes Tamuda, a Roman city just west of Tetouan. The collection includes Punic coins, bronze implements, 1st-century figures, and Libyan-Berber stone inscriptions. It is separated into prehistoric and pre-Islamic eras. A Roman mosaic of the Three Graces and a Sumerian figure discovered near the modern-day city of Asilah are among the highlights. Spend some time in the museum garden, where you may see mosaics from the Roman city of Lixus among Islamic artefacts and gravestones. .

3. MODERN ART MUSEUM

   Tetouan is recognised for its thriving creative population, so it's only right that one of Morocco's two modern art museums is located here. The Tetouan Museum of Modern Art is set in a lovely historic railway station constructed in the Andalusian style. It houses both a permanent collection of contemporary Moroccan art and a variety of temporary shows
