About MeTangier is built on the slopes of a chalky limestone hill. The old town (medina), enclosed by 15th-century ramparts, is dominated by a casbah, the sultan's palace (now a museum of Moroccan art), and the Great Mosque.

This peaceful scene shows some small fishing boats in the Port of Tangier, which lies directly below the great buildings of the medina.
