Fontain Batha, Historic fountain in Batha district, Fes, Morocco.
Fontaine Batha displays intricate mosaic tilework and carved stone details that showcase traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with Islamic geometric patterns and decorative bronze centerpiece elements throughout its structure.
This fountain has served for centuries as an essential communal water source for Fes residents, playing a vital role in daily social life and community rituals within the historic medina.
