Tangier - United States Legation

This museum traces the history of the relationship between the United States and Morocco. As Morocco was one of the first countries to recognize its independence, the U.S. established its legation in Tangier in 1821. It is the only historical monument to have remained in American possession since the birth of the American nation. On display is a letter from George Washington to Mouilay Abdallah, a collection of mirrors and works by Lecouteux and Ben Ali R'Bati, the first Moroccan "naif" painter.
