Named for the traders from Tétouan who traded and lodged here, this fondouk is the medina's most original. With its jumble of balconies, ground-floor scales, and rug and leather dealers, it seems to come closest to the look of the fondouks in Delacroix and Fortuny paintings. Fondouks were great centers of ribaldry and intrigue in the Middle Ages, and some sense of this vitality seems to have survived the passage of time.
