Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen, or Chaouen, is so stunning but really why is it all blue?

Well we know that it was built in the 15th century (early 1400s), but it wasn’t until the the 1900s that it was painted blue. During that time Morocco saw a large influx of Jews as the Second World War started. For the Jews, the color blue represents the sky, which reminded people of heaven and God. There is a strong tradition among Jewish communities of painting things blue. Nowadays the community continues to keep up the blue color of the city to preserve the legacy and heritage of its people and its past.
