Tetouan, Morocco - Plaza de Espana (circa 1910s): A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the Plaza de Espana, or Spain Square, in the enchanting city of Tetouan, Morocco. The image, taken in the 1910s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of Spanish and Moroccan architectural styles that define this historic square. Located in the northern part of Morocco, Tetouan has a rich cultural heritage, influenced by its complex history. The city was ruled by various European powers, including Spain, before gaining its independence in 1956. The Plaza de Espana, with its grandiose architecture, is a testament to the Spanish influence that once dominated this region. The square, surrounded by lush gardens and palm trees, is a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike. The centerpiece of the plaza is the impressive fountain, adorned with intricate tilework and sculptures, reflecting the clear blue waters. The buildings that encircle the square, with their red-tiled roofs and ornate balconies, exude an air of elegance and charm. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, offers a window into a bygone era. It invites us to imagine the bustling activity that once filled the square, as people went about their daily lives, children played, and vendors sold their wares. The Plaza de Espana in Tetouan remains a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore the rich history and culture of Morocco.
