About this site

Located at the heart of the medina, the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II holds the tomb of the founder of Fès, considered one of the city's most sacred sites. Its surrounding district once held sanctuary (horm) status, and its richly decorated architecture makes it one of Morocco's most venerated shrines, an essential stop on any exploration of the medina.
