Bab Segma, City gate in Medina of Fez, Morocco
The monumental entrance features two octagonal towers constructed with traditional stone masonry techniques that demonstrate Moroccan military architecture.
Built in 1286 during the Marinid dynasty, Bab Segma served as an entrance to royal gardens and contained water passages through its southern tower.
The gate received its name from Amina Sagma, a religious woman buried near the structure in 1737, connecting the architecture to local traditions.
Located at coordinates 34.06 latitude and -4.9925 longitude, the gate provides access between the new sections and older parts of Fez.
The gate retains visible remnants of an ancient aqueduct system that once supplied water to the Mosara Gardens through rectangular openings.
