Exploring the Alcazaba of Chefchaouen

#holidayitinerary The Alcazaba of Chefchaouen in Tanger Tetouan Al Hoceima is a peaceful historic site right in the heart of the blue medina. Surrounded by the lively streets, stepping inside the old fortress feels like entering a quiet retreat. The thick walls, towers, and gardens give you a sense of the city’s history and its role as a place of protection in the past.

Climbing up the towers rewards you with great views over the medina and the Rif Mountains, which is especially beautiful at sunset. Inside the complex, there is also a small museum and gallery that share more about the culture and history of the region. It may not be the largest fortress, but its calm atmosphere and lovely setting make it worth visiting. The Alcazaba adds depth to the charm of Chefchaouen and complements its iconic blue streets.
