Fez is the oldest of Morocco’s imperial cities and has served as the country’s capital no fewer than three times throughout its history.
It was founded in 789 by the first sultan of the Idrisid dynasty, although many of its most famous landmarks date back to the 13th and 14th centuries, when the city reached the height of its influence during the rule of the Marinids.

Fez is divided into three sections - the original old town, Fes el-Bali; Fes el-Jedid, built to accommodate the city’s expanding population in the 13th century; and the contemporary Ville Nouvelle quarter.
