The impressive restored medina walls, around 3km in circumference, are a legacy from when Taza served briefly as the Almohad capital in the 12th century. The two most interesting sections are the crumbling bastion, now used as a grain store, and the Bab er-Rih, for its spectacular views. The outer road that leads to Bab er-Rih is also interesting for its richly decorated doorways and windows high up in the walls, guarded by old, carved cedar screens.
