The modern, open, and elegant face of the city
Tetouan Ensanche
Tetouan's ensanche reveals a distinct but wholly complementary facet to the medina. Here the city opens up, breathes differently, and presents avenues, squares, and buildings reflecting a different urban era marked by new architectural forms. Exploring this zone reveals another aesthetic: white facades, balconies, lively squares, institutional buildings, and a broader urban feeling.
