Tetouan
The white dove: a UNESCO-listed Andalusian medina and Hispano-Moorish heritage.
Backing onto the Rif and close to the Mediterranean, Tetouan still bears the mark of the Andalusian refugees. Its white medina, one of the best preserved in Morocco, is UNESCO-listed.
A city of art and craft, it has a renowned trades school and a unique Hispano-Moorish charm, a step away from the Mediterranean beaches.
The meeting point between Morocco and Andalusia. UNESCO cites a medina that stayed clear of outside influence, where the Andalusian legacy can still be read in the art and the architecture.
Medina of Tetouan — inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1997.
