Plaza des Ferblantiers

Plaza de los Hojalateros is a vibrant corner next to the Mellah and El Badi Palace, where artisans hammer lanterns and openwork metal lamps. Its open-air workshops are perfect for watching the manufacturing process and buying a lamp directly from the artisan. The square is surrounded by café terraces overlooking storks nesting on the walls. It is a great stop between visits to the palaces of the southern medina. 📷 Photographs courtesy of R Prazeres (CC BY-SA 4.0) and Jorge Franganillo (CC BY 2.0), via Wikimedia Commons.
