Why go
The square is more than a landmark to photograph: it is a living stage for storytelling, music, food and everyday trade. Its position at the edge of the souks makes it a natural start or finish for a medina walk. A second visit in the evening reveals a different pattern of activity and helps explain why UNESCO recognizes its cultural traditions.
What to look for
- Performers and food sellers share the open square.
- Souk lanes branch off the square’s northern side.
Useful to know
