How old is Fes?

Age of Fez

Established in the 9th century, Fez attained its peak during the 13th and 14th centuries under the Marinid dynasty, when it took over from Marrakesh as the kingdom's capital. The city's architecture and key landmarks within the medina, such as madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques, and fountains, primarily originate from this era.
