Admission Included
Mellah
The Mellah in Marrakech, the city’s Jewish Quarter, was established in the 16th century during the reign of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur. It was created to house the growing Jewish community, who were often involved in trade, craftsmanship, and medicine. Jews had been present in Morocco for centuries, but the Mellah became their center of life in Marrakech. Over the centuries, the Mellah flourished with numerous synagogues, schools, and businesses, becoming a vibrant community. However, in the 20th century, many Jews emigrated, especially after Morocco gained independence in 1956. The population of Jews in Marrakech, and Morocco as a whole, significantly dwindled, but the Mellah remains an important symbol of Jewish history in the city. Today, it is a key tourist destination, with historic synagogues, the Jewish cemetery, and remnants of its once-thriving community.
