The Bab al Okla fountain with 2 water spouts, a carved stone water trough and a typically Tetouan zellige tile wall, built under the Caid governor Mohammad Ben Omar Luqash, 1751-58, opposite the Bab al Okla gate in the medina or old town of Tetouan on the slopes of Jbel Dersa in the Rif Mountains of Northern Morocco. Tetouan was of particular importance in the Islamic period from the 8th century, when it served as the main point of contact between Morocco and Andalusia. After the Reconquest, the town was rebuilt by Andalusian refugees who had been expelled by the Spanish. The medina of Tetouan dates to the 16th century and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Picture by Manuel Cohen
