10 Sights & Landmarks in Chefchaouen That You Shouldn't Miss
This stunning Moroccan city in the Rif Mountains was originally built as a fortress in the 15th century. The mountains towering over Chefchaouen resemble a pair of goat’s horns, and, perhaps not coincidentally, the creamy native goat cheese is one of the most popular regional treats. Architecture enthusiasts will marvel at the Jewish-inspired blue-tinted buildings, octagonal mosque and Spanish ruins.

It was an easy hike up the mountain to the Spanish mosque which rewarded us with a magnificent panoramic view of Chefchaouen. We hiked up the back way from the car park area via a goat path near the cemetery. We hiked down a path that had steps that seemed like the more public way to go to and from. Frankly the hike up was more enjoyable. Spectacular view!

Place Outa el Hammam is the main square of the Medina of the fantastic town of Chefchaouen, in the North of Morocco. This is a place, where you can see the main Kasbah (the most important and historical building in the town, now a museum), the Big Mosque (the most important religious building in the town) and some souvenir shops and restaurants. Also it is close the Medina, so it is a very good place to begin or finish the walk around the old town. Here is where people meet and always there are music and shows. Lunch or dinner herr, while you see people is fantastic. (see also Chefchaouen Medina, Kasbah Museum, Grand Mosque, Spanish Mosque, Ras el Maa Waterfall, Chefchaouen Cemetery and Bab Kasaba Restaurant)

After the Kasbah this is the most important building of Chefchaouen. It was built back in the fifteenth century. It has wonderful architecture with an unusual staircase and an octagonal minaret. As it is a functioning mosque, non Muslims cannot enter it.

Entrance to the cemetery is from the Avenue Melilla just after local grocery shop Epicerie Abdeladim, on the opposite side of the road - on the southeast of the city outside of the old city. Small and quiet divided paved path going uphill in two parts, the Chefchaouen Cemetery points to the remnants of a once vibrant culture. Visitors may notice that few (if any) of the tombs have inscriptions written in Hebrew. Type of the tombs is similar to those on another very old Jewish cemetery in Tetouan. Simple stones with amorphic symbols usually, probably from the 16th century. There is not gate, as the path is used by locals to reach their homes on the top of the hill. There is on the entrance place commemorating the place.
