Tétouan’s square: room between façades
Before the palace, space opens out around a gateway and people crossing the square. Move from close-set lanes to a wider view and notice how openness changes the reading of the same city.
A view of the square
The photographer’s record identifies the scene as the Royal Palace in Tétouan. With that location established, read what is visible: a gateway behind, pale façades and people giving the space a human scale.
Unlike the lane photograph, this image allows the eye to move sideways. Distances between elements become part of the composition rather than empty portions to discard. The city gallery therefore includes the full view alongside closer perspectives.

Images of the north often emphasise white and blue, but colour alone cannot explain its cities. Planning, residence, exchange and migration also belong to the picture. Keep these relationships beside the visible beauty.
Back in Chefchaouen, continue towards Outa el Hammam and the kasbah. Comparing the squares completes this short route: they are different places, yet both help reveal how a prominent building relates to the life around it.
