A 1471 Moroccan Kasbah - Kasbah of Chefchaouen

The Kasbah was built in 1471 by Rachid Ben Ali to protect the city of Chefchaouen. Today, the building houses the ethnological museum and an interior garden with fountains and patios. The museum opened in 1985, but prior to that it was restored several times and served as a residence for the Governor, a military arsenal and a prison.

This is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!

This is a historic and picturesque part of the city.

The view from the upper level of the Kasbah offers a view of the city of Chefchaouen and the surrounding mountains.
