Kasbah
Kasbah is a type of medina that has served as Tangier´s military and political center. It is located on a hill from where a beautiful view stretches over the ocean, straits of Gibraltar and Spain. Kasbah has high walls and it was used as a place to protect the city from attacks. A large courtyard lies inside its walls as well as the Sultan´s palace also called El Makhzen which dates from the 17th century and now it serves as a museum. Even though a rouad to the top of the hill is steep it is well worth visiting not only because of the beautiful view but also because of its colorful environment.
