Place du Grand 9 Avril 1947
Tangier, Morocco, 90000During the tour of the Medina, you’ll make a stop at this historical square which is commonly known as Grand Socco and that divides the Medina from the Ville Nouvelle area of Tangier. It is one of the places that hosted Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany when he visited Tangiers on 3 March 1905. The stopover worsened tension between the Germans and the French and that, among other events, ultimately led to World War I. It’s also the location where King Mohamed V delivered his speech and the symbol of his arrival to the city on April 9, 1947, when Tangiers was under international domination.

Gran Mezquita de Tanger
Tangier, MoroccoThe Great Mosque of Tangier, a nineteenth-century construction, stands prominently in the former center of the Medina. Once the home of significant religious buildings from various civilizations, dating back to a fifth-century Roman church, the site carries a rich historical legacy. Following the eighth-century Muslim conquest, the Marinid Dynasty converted the church into a mosque, a transformation that endured until the late fifteenth century.
During the centuries of Portuguese and English rule, the mosque underwent a shift, replaced by a church that marked Tangier's evolving architectural landscape. However, in 1684, after Moulay Ismail recaptured the city for the Alawi dynasty, the church underwent yet another transformation, reverting to its original role as a mosque. A critical turning point unfolded in 1815 when Sultan Sulayman undertook a comprehensive reconstruction due to the mosque's poor physical condition, resulting in the impressive structure that defines Tangier today.20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free4
Tangier Casbah
Place de la Kasbah, , Tangier, Morocco, 90030While touring the Medina, you will typically approach the Kasbah (the fortress) through either of the two gates: Bab Haha or Bab El-Assa. Once you've entered Place du Mechouar, often referred to as Place de la Kasbah, your exploration takes on a historical dimension. Your Tangier private guide can enhance your experience by providing in-depth insights.
Historically, the Kasbah served as both the residence of the local leader and a strategic defense point during city attacks. Enclosed by high walls and strategically positioned on a hilltop, it was designed for enhanced defensibility. Here, your Tangier private guide becomes invaluable, offering personalized narratives and enriching your understanding of the Kasbah's historical significance. Beyond its defensive role, the Kasbah's architectural grandeur and panoramic views underscore its cultural and visual appeal, making it a must-visit destination during your Tangier exploration.

Musee de la Kasbah
Place de la Kasbah, Tangier, Morocco, 90030,[OPEN ALL WEEK EXCEPT TUESDAYS - FROM 10 AM TO 6 PM.]
The Kasbah Museum, also known as the Kasbah Museum of Mediterranean Cultures, has been housed since 1922 by the Kasbah Palace, renowned as "Dar-Al-Makhzen" or the Sultan's Palace. Situated in the eastern part of the Kasbah of Tangier, this historical site underwent transformations over the years. Before becoming the museum, it witnessed the construction of the residence of the Portuguese governors, known as "Dorons Praefecti," between 1471 and 1661.
Subsequently, the site evolved with the creation of a more expansive "Upper Castle," serving as the residence for English governors from 1662 to 1684. Amidst these historical transitions, Tangier tourist attractions, like the Kasbah Museum, stand as cultural landmarks that tell the rich narrative of the city. The layers of history embedded in the Kasbah make it a captivating destination, connecting visitors to the diverse cultural influences that have shaped Tangier over the centuries.30 minutes • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location6
