City in Morroco
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Chefchaouen or Chaouen is a city in northwest Morocco. It is the chief town of the province of the same name, and is noted for its buildings in shades of blue.
Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains, just inland from Tangier and Tetouan. The city was founded in 1471,[1] as a small fortress which still exists to this day, by Moulay Ali Ben Moussa Ben Rached El Alami (a descendant of Ibn Machich and Idris I, and through them, of the Islamic prophet Muhammad) to fight the Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco.[2] Along with the Ghomara tribes of the region, many Moriscos and Jews settled here after the Spanish Reconquista in medieval times.[3] In 1920, the Spanish seized Chefchaouen to form part of Spanish Morocco. Spanish troops imprisoned Abd el-Krim in the kasbah from 1916 to 1917, after he talked with the German consul Dr. Walter Zechlin (1879–1962). (After defeating him with the help of the French, Abd el-Krim was deported to Réunion in 1926.) Spain returned the city after the independence of Morocco in 1956. Français : Chaouen est une ville du nord est du Maroc, bâtie à 600 m d'altitude au pied des monts Kelaa et Meggou, qui forment le jebel chaouen, sur la chaîne du Rif. Elle est le chef-lieu de la province du même nom. Sa population est de 35 709 habitants.
Le nom de la ville vient du berbère Achawen, « les cornes », en raison des sommets montagneux qui dominent et entourent la ville. Elle a été fondée en l'an 876 de l'hégire, 1471 de l’ère chrétienne, par Moulay Ali Ben Moussa Ben Rached El Alami. Igbo: Chefchaouen ma ọ bụ Chaouen bụ obodo dị na ugwu ọdịda anyanwụ Morocco.
