Considered
to be the most imperial of the 4 imperial cities and was the first
capital city of the kingdom. The town is an ocean of flat roofs
and soaring minarets and a bustle of activity with its passages,
stairways, courtyards and maze of streets lined with stalls. The
city is built in two halves with new Fes, Fes el Jedid, built
in the 13th century and the old town called Fes el Bali. The first
university of the western world was founded in Fes, which is still
in existence today, and the town is still the spiritual and cultural
centre of old Morocco.
