Place Seffarine

About this site

Tucked near the Al Quaraouiyine University, Place Seffarine takes its name from the coppersmiths who still hammer copper here using age-old techniques. Lined with historic medersas and fondouks, it offers one of the medina's most authentic craft scenes, where the sound of worked metal still sets the rhythm of neighborhood life.
