Kasbah of Cherarda, Heritage fortress in Cherarda, Fez, Morocco
The Kasbah of Cherarda rises with thick defensive walls and towers, displaying traditional North African military architecture along the northern edge of Fez.
Built during a period of territorial expansion, this fortress served as a strategic military outpost protecting the northern boundaries of medieval Fez against external threats.
The fortress walls contain architectural elements reflecting Moroccan building techniques, including adobe construction and geometric patterns typical of North African fortifications.
Visitors can reach the Kasbah by following the northern circuit of Fez's old city walls, with local guides available at the main entrance.
The structure maintains its original defensive layout with multiple gates and watchtowers, providing views across the surrounding Fez landscape from elevated positions.
