Petit Socco

Petit Socco or “Little square” is in the middle of the Medina. It was one one of the greatest souks in all of Morocco. People would come here from miles around to buy food an clothes. In the 19th century the area grew wealthier and in the beginning of the 20th century many prominent men would come here to catch up on their gossip. Ville Nouveau is the part of town that nowadays own that position, but Petit Socco is still a nice square to hang around for a cup of tea or coffee and to befriend a stranger or two.
