A Little History
In 1471, Moulay Ali Ben Moussa founded the town of Chefchaouen. The town began as a small fortress to fight off the Portuguese invasions of Morocco. The Ghomara tribes, Moriscos, and Jewish immigrants settled there after the 1492 Spanish Reconquista.
Centuries later, in 1920, Spain took control of Chefchaouen, and the town became part of Spanish Morocco until 1956, when Morocco gained independence.
