Plaza El Hauta fountain in Medina

Chefchaouen, Morocco

The Plaza El Hauta is a pedestrian square situated along Rue Chefchaouen in the city's old medina. The central feature of this location is a century-old four-sided drinking fountain decorated with traditional mosaic tiles. The name "Hawta" translates to "surrounded," which accurately describes the layout bordered by blue-tiled buildings and arches. A 360-degree panorama captures the complete visual profile of the square, including the ornate fountain structure and the patterned cobblestone floor. The location serves as an active gathering point where residents collect water while visitors use the surrounding seating areas. The architecture preserves the Moorish and Andalusian design elements dating back to the city's development as a fortified settlement.
