Gateway between the medina and the open city
Hassan II Square
Hassan II Square is one of the most important spaces for understanding the transition between the medina and the more open part of the city. It plays a clear urban role: connecting, organizing, and serving as an antechamber to some of the most interesting routes in Tetouan. It's a square that blends movement, local life, and historical value. By position and atmosphere, it's incredibly useful for orientation and linking a medina visit with other central areas.
