Andalusian wall of Rabat, Defensive wall in Medina district, Rabat, Morocco.
The Andalusian wall extends over 1.4 kilometers with 26 towers, reaching heights between 4.9 and 5.5 meters and maintaining an average thickness of 1.65 meters.
Built in the early 17th century, this fortification marked the settlement area of Morisco refugees in the southern section of the projected Almohad city.
The wall incorporates three original gates from west to east: Bab et-T'ben, Bab el-Bouiba, and Bab Chellah, reflecting traditional Moroccan military architecture.
Visitors can walk along the wall's 1.3-meter-wide pathway, protected by a parapet with archery slots that offers views of the Medina district.
The eastern section terminates at Sidi-Makhlouf bastion, a round fortification featuring both arrow slits and cannon embrasures for military defense.
