About Morocco: #2Chefchaouen

Dear Steemit friends :Today we will learn about chefchaouen :

Chefchaouen is one of the most famous cities in the north-west of Morocco, called the Blue City. It is specifically located on a mountain range called the Rif Mountains, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea from the north.

The old neighborhoods are the most prominent and most beautiful features, the most important of which are the following:

Al-Suwaiqa neighborhood: Second place after the residential complex known as the Kasbah in terms of seniority. When it was first established, about 80 families from Andalusia lived during the period of Moulay Bin Rashid. This was referred to as Qaysariya, , With its white, blue-washed houses, and a decorative fountain to form the most important fountains in the city. Al-Andalus: It was established in order to accommodate the second group of immigrant families coming from Andalusia. This was in 1492, which is very similar to the neighborhood of Suwaiqa, but the houses are more than one floor and each house has several entrances. Al-Anad district: Located in the north-west of the city wall, which underwent a series of repairs and renovations, in line with the urban development and expansion of the city, which is very different from the former neighborhoods in terms of design; because the immigrants here did not adhere to the original standards prevailing in their homes, Observation, noting that the towers in the rest of the neighborhoods are old, and modernity are only repairs and repairs. The Sabban neighborhood is located along the road that leads to a place known as the head of water. It includes a series of mills, especially the traditional ones, which were used to grind and crush olives.
