ملاح مراكش

The Mellah of Marrakech, formerly Hay Essalam, is the historic Jewish quarter of the city. Created by Saadian sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib in 1558 next to the kasbah and El Badi Palace, it is the second-oldest mellah in Morocco after Fez. Once home to up to 40,000 people, it is now a quiet medina district with the restored Lazama Synagogue and a working spice market.
