LARACHE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

Formerly the palace of Sultan Youssef Abdelhak el Merini between 1258 and 1281, the history of this impressive building also includes its use by the Spaniards as a setting for state occasions, as a courthouse and even as a weapons room. The view from the palace over the Loukos region is quite staggering.

Today, it houses reminders of all the great moments in Morocco's life. Souvenirs of its struggle for independence, ancient coins, fishing equipment, musical instruments, statues, jewellery and perfume bottles.
