Tetouan, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Morocco, is a city that captivates with its rich history and enchanting beauty. Known as the "White Dove" due to its resemblance to Chefchaouen, Tetouan boasts Spanish colonial architecture that adds a unique charm to its streets. As you wander through the labyrinthine alleys, your eyes will be drawn to the intricate Islamic decorative tiles known as zeligs. These mesmerizing patterns adorn mosques and buildings, reflecting the city's deep-rooted cultural heritage. In Tetouan, even death holds an artistic allure. The cemetery stands as a testament to Moroccan traditions and pays homage to those who came before us. It serves as a reminder of our mortality while celebrating life's ephemeral beauty. At sunset, Tetouan transforms into an ethereal wonderland. The warm hues paint the sky above this UNESCO World Heritage Site and cast their glow upon every corner of the city, and is during these magical moments that one truly feels connected with history. The Royal Palace and historical center stand proudly amidst modernity—a harmonious blend of past and present. Both recognized by UNESCO for their significance, they serve as guardians of Tetouan's legacy. Speaking of history, General Juan Prim y Prats left his mark on this land during the battle in 1860. A captivating oil painting immortalizes his bravery and reminds us of the sacrifices made for freedom. It also has European influences within its borders—the European district showcases another facet of this diverse city where cultures intertwine seamlessly. Stepping into a Moorish street feels like entering another era altogether—time seems suspended here amidst traditional houses adorned with vibrant colors and ornate details—an invitation to explore further into Tetouan's soulful essence. Sadly, not all stories are joyous; Moroccan Jews sought refuge in Gibraltar after fleeing massacres in Tetouan.
