The architecture of Fès - Morocco
Exploring Fès, where light, color, and history weave through the streets of a living UNESCO World Heritage medina.
IN AN UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE MEDINA
The medina of Fès, recognized by UNESCO, is a labyrinth of over 10,000 narrow streets, where traditional high houses catch the strong Moroccan light on their colored walls.
Wandering through the maze, you encounter tanners at work, ancient caravanserais, and the grand facades of palaces. The city’s energy is palpable, yet just beyond the medina, the outskirts offer quiet: the royal domain and the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, create a subtle contrast to the bustling heart of Fès.
