Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Fes el Bali (Arabic: فاس البالي) (English: Old Fes) is the oldest walled part of Fes, Morocco. Fes el Bali was founded as the capital of the Idrisid dynasty between 789 and 808 AD.[2] Besides being famous for having the oldest university in the world, the University of Al-Karaouine,[3] Fes el Bali, with a total population of 156,000, is also believed to be the biggest car-free urban area in the world.[4]
UNESCO listed Fes el Bali as a world heritage site in 1981 under the name Medina of Fez. The world heritage site includes Fes el Bali's urban fabric and walls as well as a buffer zone outside of the walls that is intended to preserve the visual integrity of the location.[5] Fes el Bali is, along with Fes Jdid and the French-created Ville nouvelle, one of the three main districts in Fes. |
