Medina Walls
The medina walls, around 3km in circumference, have recently been restored. They are a
legacy from when Taza served briefly as the Almohad capital in the 12th century. The
bas-
ded 400 years later by the Saadians. The most interesting section of wall is around
Bab er-
the surrounding countryside. Look southwest to the wooded slopes of Jebel Tazzeka in the
Middle Atlas, and then to the Rif in the north, and it's easy to see the strategic significance
of Taza's location.
