Bab Ftouh, City gate in Medina of Fez, Morocco.
The monumental Bab Ftouh gate features traditional Moroccan architectural elements with detailed tilework and stands as an entrance to the Medina of Fez.
Built during Sultan Moulay Abdallah's reign in the early 18th century, Bab Ftouh strengthened the defensive system of the medieval city walls.
The gate marks a transition point between the old city and modern Fez, where traders and artisans maintain centuries-old crafts and traditions.
Visitors can access the Medina through this entrance, which leads to numerous shops, markets, and traditional workshops within the narrow streets.
The stone gate contains inscriptions and geometric patterns that demonstrate the mathematical precision of medieval Moroccan architecture.
