Place des Ferblantiers
Place des Ferblantiers is a pedestrian square in central Marrakech, named after the traditional craft of tinworking. The square is surrounded by small workshops and shops where artisans create and sell metal objects such as lamps, trays, and decorative items.
The square developed over generations as a working hub for metalworkers who crafted household goods from tin and copper. This craft tradition has endured to the present day in the neighborhood and continues to shape the square's character and activity.
This square was historically the hub for tinworkers and metalcraft artisans. Today, visitors can still observe how these traditions remain part of daily life as craftspeople display their wares and share stories about their work.
The square is car-free and therefore safe to explore on foot, allowing for a relaxed walk through the workshops. The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon, when most craftspeople are active and shops are in full operation.
The square is known for the storks that build their nests on the roofs of surrounding buildings and bring a special quality to the place with their presence. These large birds are a characteristic feature of the neighborhood and create an unexpected link between the urban environment and nature.
