EDITORS COMMENTS
Step through the Golden Door of Fes el Bali and enter a world steeped in history and tradition. Located in the heart of Morocco's ancient city of Fez, this magnificent door is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and artistic prowess of Moroccan artisans. Carved from rich, golden wood and adorned with intricate geometric patterns, the door is a dazzling sight to behold. The Golden Door is a prominent feature of the Bou Inania Madrasa, a 14th-century Islamic university and mosque. Its facade is a stunning example of Islamic architecture, with the door serving as the grand entrance to this architectural marvel. The intricate carvings on the door are executed with precision and finesse, showcasing the skill of the artisans who created it. The door's yellow hue adds a warm and inviting glow to the otherwise muted tones of the Medina. The awl, or traditional Moroccan key, is a symbol of hospitality and protection, and the Golden Door is no exception. It is said that the key was once used to grant entry only to the worthy and the respectable, adding to the mystique and allure of this historic landmark. Fez, located in North Africa, is a city steeped in history and tradition. The Medina, or old city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in African and North African history and culture. The Golden Door is just one of the many treasures that await visitors to this enchanting city.
