Town of Tetouan - Great Attractions (Tetouan, Morocco) [01:11]
Take a tour of Town of Tetouan in Tetouan, Morocco -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Near the northernmost tip of Morocco, looking towards Spain, is the beautiful Arabic town of Tetouan. The buildings of the town are mostly white and reflect the traditional architecture of the area. Tetouan has been populated since the third century BC, and was later built into a city sometime in the 14th century. The area has been a confluence of many cultures, and as such French, Spanish, Jewish, and Arabic influences can be seen throughout the town. Throughout the town are many mosques, churches, synagogues, and other places of religious reverence, which serve as a testament to the tolerance of this community. UNESCO has declared Tetouan's old town to be an official World Heritage Site, because of its historical homes and buildings.
