Kasbah of Chefchaouen, Military fortress in Chefchaouen, Morocco
The Kasbah spans one acre, featuring strong defensive walls, quadrangular towers, and a central square layout surrounded by traditional architecture.
Built in 1471 by Moulay Ali Ben Rachid, the Kasbah protected northern Morocco from Portuguese invasions while offering refuge to Andalusian settlers.
The Kasbah houses an ethnographic museum displaying regional artifacts, including traditional musical instruments, pottery, sculptures, weapons, and textiles from Morocco.
The Kasbah opens daily from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM, with entrance fees of 60 dirhams for international visitors.
The main tower contains three distinct levels culminating in a covered terrace that provides views across the Rif Mountains and blue-painted city.
