Place Petit Socco- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Place Petit Socco, located in the heart of Tangier's medina, has historically been a bustling center of commerce and diplomacy. Once the focal point of European consulates and key establishments, including the State Bank of Morocco, it was surrounded by the post offices of major foreign powers in the early 20th century. Over time, the area saw a decline in its reputation, but recent renovations, including the opening of the Palais Zahia hotel and the Dar Niaba Museum, have revitalized the space. Today, the Petit Socco offers a glimpse into Tangier's past, with its iconic cafés and historic buildings still standing.
