Taza, North Moroccan city in Taza Province, Morocco
The city spreads across two levels, with the ancient medina perched at 580 meters and the modern section established in 1920 at 450 meters elevation.
The Berber Meknassa tribe founded Taza in the seventh century, which later became a strategic stronghold during various Moroccan dynasties including Almoravids and Almohads.
The Great Mosque of Taza exhibits architectural elements from both Almohad and Marinid periods, featuring intricate stonework and traditional Moroccan designs.
Taza connects to major cities through regular train services, with routes to Fez taking two hours and connections available to Meknes and Nador.
The Friouato Cave system near Taza extends 3.8 kilometers underground, containing passages with underground lakes and geological formations dating back millions of years.
