Tangier - Kasbah Museum

The Kasbah is on the highest point of Tangier and is isolated from the rest of the Medina by its walls. The gate opens to the courtyard which leads to the palace museum devoted to Moroccan art. There is also a small archeological collection where most of the exhibits came from Volubilis.

The palace was built in the 17th century and enlarged later by sultans. The carved wooden ceilings and a marble courtyard enhance the beauty of this palace.

The Cafe Detroit on the second floor became famous for the trance musicians who played here in the 1960s. Musicians still play here while tourists drink mint tea and sing songs.

Wealthy foreigners own most of the houses inside the Kasbah.
