Fes city:

As you walk under Bab Boujeloud’s famed blue gate, you seem to be transported 1,000 years back in time. The lively cafés and outdoor markets rapidly give way to peaceful small lanes where children play and donkeys carry provisions up and down the historic city’s winding, mud brick passages. Fez el-Bali, the oldest portion of Fez, is the world’s biggest car-free urban zone and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most visitors to Fez spend their time here.

Walking around Fez el-Bali is like walking through 1,300 years of Moroccan tradition that has only lately been impacted by globalization and the rush of visitors.

Despite the increase in tourists, the enchantment of Fez remains. The city has seen so much history. Its maze-like city is filled with ancient mosques and medersas (also known as madrassas, which are Islamic schools). Because non-Muslims are not permitted to enter any of the mosques, there are two medersas — Medersa Bou Inania and Medersa el-Attarine — that demonstrate the magnificence of Islamic architecture. Take note of the delicate balance of elaborate stucco and tile work utilized to beautify these architectural treasures!

Notes from Fez’s History

Moulay Idriss II, the son of Morocco’s founder, built Fez around 789 A.D., however the origin of the city’s name is uncertain. Some historians say it is derived from the traditional Berber name for the Middle Atlas mountains, Fazaz, while others believe it is derived from a story about a golden axe that split the river of Fez into two half (in Arabic, a fez is an axe).

It wasn’t until 817-18 A.D., when over 800 refugee families from Cordoba, Spain, arrived in Fez, followed a few years later by almost 2,000 families from Tunisia, that Fez really started to expand. For nearly 300 years, these communities battled one other. The city did not experience peace until the coming of the Almoravid empire in 1070 A.D.

The city of Fez gained shape during Almoravid dominion, and the walls of Fez were built, which still define the contour of today’s Fez El-Bali. Fez was the biggest city in the world by 1170 A.D., with a population of over 200,000 people. It was a significant commerce center, servicing Africa and Europe, the gold route from Timbuktu, and the famed tanneries known for its excellent leather shields.

Fez became the capital of Morocco when the Merenids acquired power in 1250 A.D. Fez el-Jdid, the “new” city, was established at this time, with broader streets, parks, and several governmental facilities. This is also when Fez truly became a cultural and intellectual powerhouse and the “Fassi” style, a mixture of Andalusian and Almohad traditions, was given life. The Medersa Bou Inania and Medersa el-Attarine are superb examples of this period’s opulent architecture.

Fez is today renowned as the “Athens of Africa” and the “Mecca of the West” due to its history and status as Morocco’s spiritual and learning hub.
