Medina of Marrakech
Medina of MarrakechFounded during the 11th century, the Medina of Marrakech stretches on more than 600 hectares.

The Medina is the historical town centre of Marrakech, and is one of the most typical features of the Red City. Its originality comes directly from the fact that it was built on a site completely devoid of human settlements. The architects of the city could therefore rely on all the necessary space needed to build houses and infrastructure of exceptional size. A building philosophy that lasted centuries and that mainly explains the fact that the Medina of Marrakech now stretches on more than 600 hectares (1 482,63 acres), making it the biggest in Morocco.
