Bab Chems:

Bab Chems « the sun gate » is situated between Jnane Sbil garden and the Moulay Idriss high school. It is one of the remnants of a Qasba “fortress” that had the same name, and was erected by the Alaouites to house a group of armed forces from the Rif region in the era of Moulay Hassan the first. The gate is constituted of two central arched gates and two small adjacent entries for pedestrians in both sides: the central entries; one is ornamented by blue and green zellij “ceramics”; whereas the second is not. The two arches suffer a lot from the passage of vehicules, as there are a lot of scratches and damages onto their surfaces.
