Morocco's blue city attracts travelers and Moroccans alike, both of whom are intrigued by this enticing and unique place. The blue-glazed houses and buildings were built originally by the town's former Jewish population. Chefchaouen was one of the cities that helped Moriscos and Jews who sought refuge after the Spanish conquest in medieval times. Moulay Ali Ben Moussa Ben Rached El Alami and the exiles used the fortress of Chefchaouen to fight off the invading Portuguese who were entering Morocco from the north. In 1920, the Spanish seized Chefchaouen to form part of Spanish Morocco. Spend the night in a guesthouse.
