Fez Mellah (Jewish Quarter)

The Fez Mellah, located in the heart of Fez, Morocco, served as the city’s Jewish quarter from the mid-15th century until after World War II. Enclosed by walls, this area provided a protective barrier for the Jewish community against potential attacks from other residents. Today, visitors can explore the neighborhood and discover its unique architecture, which stands out from the surrounding old medina, offering a tangible connection to the rich and complex history of Moroccan society.
