Place Jemâa el-Fna

Historically speaking, this place refers to the foundation of the city of Marrakech in 1068. Semantically Jemaa El Fna is synonymous with the assembly of the dead.

   A practice common to the leaders of the nations of yesteryear that we find elsewhere in the world of yesteryear.

    Today the roles have been reversed for good, in this strategic space: the place of death has become the living space par excellence.

Yes, indeed, the sultans of the past, used this space located in the center of the city to expose the heads of those sentenced to death after their execution.

Jemaa El Fna is now a meeting place not only for poets, novelists, musicians, acrobats, comedians ... and storytellers, but also tourists from around the world who constantly express their wonder by discovering this beautiful cultural heritage Moroccan in Marrakech.

   The atmosphere is so tender and the joy is at its height. Everything impresses Jemaa El Fna who has been able to anchor the ancestral values ​​of the country.

Tourists come looking for a trace of their lost past; a safe and legendary past whose traces are still preserved in Jemaa El Fna, as evidenced by UNESCO's declaration in 2001, which now considers this agora fairy as a marvel of the world by placing it among the oral heritage of humanity.
