Chefchaouen, was founded in 1471 and is located in the cavity between two mountains (hence its name “ech-Chaoua”, the horns). Narrow, steep streets with white and indigo plaster buildings, small squares, beautifully decorated fountains and houses with richly embellished doors, along with red roofs of tiles, make it a delightful town. Chaouen is considered a “holy city” as it has eight mosques. Its original population was mainly made up of Andalusian exiled people, both Muslim and Jewish, which is why the ancient part of the city looks very similar to that of the Andalusian villages, with small streets with irregular paths. The oldest part of the city has been built in the upper part of the mountain where the springs of the Ras al-Ma river can also be found. The city centre corresponds to the square of Uta al-Hamman, where there is the fortress and a mosque with octagonal base tower. The new city was built further down.
