Tangier, Morocco - The Treasury and Court House (circa 1905): A Glimpse into the Past of North Africa's Vibrant City This evocative photograph captures the Treasury and Court House in Tangier, Morocco, during the early 1900s. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and architectural heritage of this North African city, which has long been a melting pot of cultures. The Treasury and Court House, with its imposing facade, served as the official seat of the Spanish colonial administration in Tangier. The Spanish protectorate over Morocco began in 1912 and lasted until 1956. This architectural masterpiece reflects the blending of European and Moroccan influences, with its red-tiled roofs, ornate arches, and intricate stonework. The Treasury building, located on the left side of the image, housed the financial offices of the Spanish colonial government. The Court House, on the right, was the site of the Spanish colonial courts, where legal proceedings were carried out. The grandeur of the buildings reflects the power and influence of the Spanish colonial administration in Tangier during this period. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the bustling streets of Tangier during the early 1900s. The image shows horse-drawn carriages and people going about their daily business, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The palm trees lining the streets and the blue sky in the background further enhance the beauty of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Tangier, Morocco, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of this North African city. The Treasury and Court House, with their grandeur and architectural beauty, continue to stand as symbols of the city's rich past and its unique blend of European and Moroccan influences.
