Bab Bou Jeloud

The Bab Bou Jeloud is an elaborate city door and the principal western access to Fes el Bali, the old city of Fez, MoroccoThe name Bou Jeloud dates from a long time before the presence of the present entryway. By one record, the name is a vernacular debasement of the articulation "Bou Jnoud", which means a parade ground or military square, alluding to the expansive square known as Place Bou Jeloud simply outside and toward the west.

Both the inward and external veneers are shrouded in polychrome tiles including arabesques and Moroccan geometric themes, with the external exterior transcendently blue and the inside veneer overwhelmingly green-ish.Strangely, the genuine entryways of the door appear to close and bolt all things considered; maybe a sign that the French organization saw it incompletely as a method for controlling the development of the occupants inside the medina.
