837 MA - Medina of Tétouan (formerly known as Titawin) (1997)

 Medina of Tétouan (formerly known as Titawin)

Tétouan was of particular importance in the Islamic period, from the 8th century onwards, since it served as the main point of contact between Morocco and Andalusia. After the Reconquest, the town was rebuilt by Andalusian refugees who had been expelled by the Spanish. This is well illustrated by its art and architecture, which reveal clear Andalusian influence. Although one of the smallest of the Moroccan medinas, Tétouan is unquestionably the most complete and it has been largely untouched by subsequent outside influences.

缔头万城

在公元8世纪开始的伊斯兰时期，缔头万城是一座具有特别意义的城市，因为它是连接摩洛哥和安大路西亚的主要通道。在经过西班牙的再次征服之后，这个城市由遭到西班牙人流放的安大路西亚难民重建，该城的建筑和艺术风格都非常有特点，深受安大路西亚的影响。缔头万城虽然是摩洛哥最小的阿拉伯人聚居区之一，但无疑也是最完整而且没有受到后期外部影响的城市。
