Introduction
Bab Boujloud is the most famous entrance to Fes Medina. Built in 1913, this exquisite gate features cobalt blue tiles on the outside and green tiles on the inside — Fes's most iconic landmark and the gateway to one of the world's oldest medinas. A beautiful Moorish arch with cobalt blue zellige tiles outside (Fes's color) and green inside (Islam's color). Passing through enters the Fes Medina — the world's largest car-free urban area with over 9,000 narrow alleys, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cafes on both sides offer rest and views. Visiting to pass through the most magnificent gate into the old Medina is a stunning Fes experience.
