Chefchaouen Province, Mountain province and its blue capital in northern Morocco
Chefchaouen is a mountain province in northern Morocco with peaks exceeding 2,000 meters and dense Mediterranean forests. The region stretches across varied terrain with several valleys and is crossed by mountain ranges that shape its landscape.
The capital was founded in 1471 as a fortress city to resist Portuguese invasions. The founding family played an important role in resisting European expansion in the region.
The buildings here display a mixture of Moroccan and Andalusian architecture, shaped by Spanish and Portuguese Jewish influences from the Reconquista period. These architectural layers are visible in the details you notice while walking through the streets and squares.
The region is connected by road to larger cities, making it accessible for visitors. Most residents live in rural areas, so travelers should expect less developed infrastructure.
The region is home to Talassemtane National Park, which protects rare Moroccan fir trees and serves as a refuge for endangered plant species. This forest offers hikers a green refuge with endemic species found nowhere else.
