Petit Socco (Zoco Chico) in Tangier, Morocco: A Glimpse into the Past of the Spanish Legation and Post Office This evocative photograph, taken circa 1910s, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of Tangier, Morocco's Petit Socco, also known as Zoco Chico or the 'Little Market.' The image showcases the Spanish Legation and Post Office, two iconic structures that once stood proudly in the heart of this vibrant and culturally diverse city. The Spanish Legation, with its red-tiled roof and ornate balconies, served as the official residence and diplomatic mission of the Spanish Ambassador to Morocco. The building's grandeur reflects the significant influence of European powers in Tangier during the early 20th century. Adjacent to the Legation, the Post Office, represented by the whitewashed building with the Correos Español sign, was a vital hub for communication and connection. The postal service played a crucial role in linking Tangier to the rest of the world, enabling the exchange of news, ideas, and goods between Morocco and various European countries. Petit Socco, or the 'Little Market,' is a bustling souk that has long been a popular destination for travelers and locals alike. The market's narrow, winding streets are filled with the aromas of spices, the sounds of haggling, and the colors of traditional Moroccan textiles. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Spanish Legation and Post Office were integral parts of the Petit Socco's rich tapestry, reflecting the unique blend of Moroccan and European cultures that define Tangier to this day.
