The primary draw of the city is its ancient Medina, which boasts an Andalusian architectural style.

Amidst a tranquil atmosphere, the Chefchaouen Cemetery stands as a testament to the vestiges of a once thriving civilization. It’s worth noting that Arabic inscriptions adorn a significant number of graves, which visitors may observe.

If you’re getting tired of blue, Chefchaouen’s 15th-century clay-brown kasbah contains a lovely Andalusian-style garden, a former prison, the small Center for Research and Andalusian Studies and even smaller art gallery (only open during exhibitions). One of the fortress’ 13 spires, the Portuguese Tower, named after the Portuguese prisoners who built it, features plaques tracing Riffian history and provides exquisite views of the medina.

Chefchaouen’s central square is brimming with reasonably-priced restaurants for lunch or dinner, and it’s a bustling hub of activity. This sizeable square is home to the Kasbah (fortress) and the city’s inaugural mosque.

Chefchaouen’s Grande Mosque, built in the 15th century, is an architectural marvel that stands out for its octagonal minaret. This feature, while not common in Moroccan mosques, reflects the influence of Andalusian architecture brought to the country by Muslim immigrants from Spain. The mosque is constructed from stone, and its brown and beige hues provide a striking contrast to the blue and white buildings in the vicinity.

While visiting Chefchaouen, admiring the Grande Mosque is definitely one of the top things to do. However, it’s important to note that non-Muslim visitors are not allowed to enter the mosque. Visitors are still able to appreciate the mosque’s stunning exterior, which is often photographed by tourists.

Overall, the Grande Mosque is an important historical and cultural landmark in Chefchaouen, showcasing the city’s unique blend of Moroccan and Andalusian architectural styles.

If you have enough time, watching the sunset from a hilltop in Morocco can be a truly unforgettable experience. The country is known for its stunning sunsets, which are particularly magical when viewed from a high vantage point.
