Bab Boujeloud

  • Address: Pl. Boujeloud, Fez

Fodor's Review:

Built in 1913 by General Hubert Lyautey, Moroccan commander under the French protectorate, this gate is 1,000 years younger than the rest of the medina, yet generally considered its most beautiful point of entry. The side facing out is covered with blue ceramic tiles painted with flowers and calligraphy; the inside is green, the official color of Islam—or of peace, depending on the interpretation.
