Tamnougalt Ksar

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:16:20

The maze of rooms at Tamnougalt ksar (fortified stronghold) leads through a sizable mellah, dips underground with strategically placed skylights and candle nooks, and emerges into sunny courtyard stables lined with horseshoe arches. See if you can distinguish between the Arab, Andalusian and Berber Jewish motifs that blend so seamlessly here – or at least recognise scenes shot here from Oscar-winning movies Babel and The English Patient .
