Kasbah Udaya is one of the most picturesque and historically significant places in the capital of Morocco. Here, surrounded by thick walls, time seems to have frozen, and the atmosphere of ancient times is felt at every step.
In fact, the Kasbah of Udaya is a medieval fortress, perfectly preserved, which is also an example of traditional Moorish architecture. It was rebuilt and fortified in the XII century by the Almohad dynasty, although it was founded by the Almoravids. Later Marinids strengthened it in the XIV century. Of course, for the European taste, the Kasbah Udaya is too squat and its face is rough. However, she performed her function perfectly, serving to protect the city from pirates, as well as controlling the entry of ships into the bay of Rabat.
Kasbah Udaya, like other fortresses of the era, was not exclusively a defensive structure, rather it was a fortified city that, even under the onslaught of the enemy, could lead a completely ordinary life.
That's why it's not just walls, they still have a variety of "stuffing". The entrance to the Kasbah is the majestic Bab Udaya Gate. Their intricate ornament plainly demonstrates the local flavor. Inside is the Medina – an ancient city consisting of narrow streets, whose houses of yellowish limestone do not just expose their walls to the sheer sun. Often they are painted in bright colors: red, yellow, blue. Sometimes the owners paint only the window frames and draw a wide blue stripe around the semicircular doors.
In the center of the Medina, of course, is the Udaya Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in Rabat, although access to it for non-Muslims is limited. (However, if the visitor has nothing against dressing modestly, taking off his shoes and sitting in silence, you can try your luck and get into this Muslim shrine).
Another highlight of the Kasbah is the Andalusian Garden, recreated at the beginning of the XX century. An atmosphere of luxury and peace reigns here: fountains murmur, flowers smell, palm trees sway. There is also a museum in the Kasbah, which is located in a former palace. It exhibits works of Moorish art, including traditional carpets, carved furniture, ceramics and rich jewelry.
