Kasbah Museum

The Museum of the Kasbah (also known as the Dar el-Makhzen Museum) is located in the Kasbah in the highest part of ​​Tangier. The entrance is in Place du Mechoir which also has magnificent views of the Strait of Gibraltar with Spain in the background. The museum is in what was formerly the Sultan's palace and contains an interesting collection of Moroccan art spanning the entirety of Tangier's history. The palace was built by Moulay Ismail in the 17th century and was subsequently expanded several times. When you enter, the first thing you find is a lovely Moorish courtyard decorated with painted tiles and arches.
