The Tetouan Ethnographic Museum, located in a historic 18th-century fortress known as the 'Bastion of the Old City,' offers an intimate glimpse into the region's cultural heritage. Visitors can wander through rooms filled with exquisite traditional costumes, handwoven carpets, and detailed woodwork.
