Fes el-Bali
The old medina fills the valley in a dense mass of alleys and courtyards. The pattern is intricate enough to make one of the most detailed-looking city maps anywhere.

The map
About this Fes map poster
From above, Fes shows three distinct cities. Fes el-Bali, the old medina, fills the valley of the Oued Fes. Its thousands of lanes are so narrow and irregular that they look more like a texture than a street network. Fes el-Jdid, founded by the Marinids in the thirteenth century, sits to the west with its palace grounds and walls. Beyond them is the Ville Nouvelle, laid out under the French protectorate.
A Fes map poster makes the contrast obvious. The medina appears almost solid, cut by passages too narrow for cars. It is often described as one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world. The Ville Nouvelle next to it is organised around broad, tree-lined avenues and roundabouts, with clear lines and open space.
At the centre of the medina is the Qarawiyyin, founded in 859 and widely recognised as one of the oldest continuously operating universities. Nearby, the Chouara tannery is still worked in its stone vats of dye. The medina has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981, and its walls and gates still mark its edges on the map.

Walls and gates
Historic walls surround the medina and Fes el-Jdid. Gates such as Bab Boujloud appear as openings where the old city meets the surrounding roads.
Ville Nouvelle
The French-era district to the south-west is built on long, straight boulevards and roundabouts. It is a clear, open counterpoint to the tightly packed medina.
