Bab Khokha:
This gate was first named Bab El-Kanissa “the church gate” by Moulay Idriss the second who built it in the 9th century in Adouat El Qarawiyine (El Qarawiyine bank) and more specifically in an area belonged to the Beni Yarghtan tribe, by the Oued El- Kbir (the big river) at Bel Chybouba (around Nekhaline and Qantrat bin lamdoun “the between cities bridge”).
In the beginning of the 12th century, Abdelmoumen Ben Ali, who was at that time the Aalam or fkih “the master” of the whole maghreb, destroyed Bab El Kanissa in 1145, and yet in 1204, the Almohad El Nasser Ben El Mansour built the gate and gave it the name of Bab Khokha (the skylight-window gate).
Unfortunately the gate disappeared around the mid-20th century for unknown reasons, but the neighbourhood in which existed the gate is still bearing its name.
