Medina of Tétouan (formerly known as Titawin)

World Heritage
Morocco
🎧  Listen to Introduction

Tetouan was of particular importance during the Islamic period, from the 8th century onwards, as it was the main point of contact between Morocco and Andalusia. After the Reconquista, the town was rebuilt by Andalusian refugees expelled by the Spanish. Its art and architecture show a great deal of Andalusian influence. Although one of the smallest medinas in Morocco, Tetouan is undoubtedly the most complete, and it has remained largely untouched by later outside influences.
