Andalusian wall of Rabat

the Andalussian wall near Bab El Had

The Andalusian wall (in Arabic : السور الأندلسي) is the wall that delimits the southern part of the Medina of Rabat, Morocco.^[1]

The wall was built at the beginning of the 17th century, and it was delimiting the part where the Moors refugees settled from the southern part of the planned Almohad city, practically uninhabited and mainly occupied by fields.^[2]

The wall is over 1.4 km long, and its height varies between 4.9 m and 5.5 m for an average thickness of 1.65 m3. It surrounds an area of 840 hectares.^[2]
