| Page Views: 718 Last Visit to Taroudannt: September, 2006 | Taroudannt - the walled city by iwys - last update: Apr 3, 2007 |
Taroudannt is a walled city, which for a brief period, from 1510 to 1530, was the capital of Morocco. Now it is a fairly sleepy town, with a population of just 30,000, but its 6km circuit of massive, mud-brick walls still survive intact as a reminder of its glorious past.
In 1913 the French took control of the city and I found the centre of Taroudannt, around the main square, reminded me a bit of a French provincial town. |
