Tangier - Medina

The Church of the Immaculate Conception was built in 1880 by the Spanish. At that time, the Spanish made up one fifth of the population. This church is now closed.

The kasbah is built on the highest point of the city and is isolated from the rest of the medina by its walls. The gate opens onto a large courtyard which leads to the Dar el-Makhzem, the former sultan's palace and now home to the Museum of Moroccan Art and the Museum of Antiquities. Both are known as the Kasbah Museum.

The Petit Socco is the center of Tangier's medina. It has cafes and restaurants that you can sit for hours sipping tea and people watching. The pension houses the local brothel and this area is still reminiscent of its "sleazy" past.
