The Perdicaris Park extends in an area of 70 hectares between the sea and the mountain. Known also under the name Rmilat, it offers a great natural and cultural richness. It was an old property of a US diplomat but now it belongs to the Moroccan State, which is in charge of its maintenance and preservation.

A strengthened identity and a unique history The Perdicaris Park bears the name of the Greek-US diplomat, Ion Perdicaris, who acquired the property in 1872 to settle with his family. In that same park he built a house to live comfortably and enjoy the nature of the site with his wife. The couple’s destiny changed in 1924 when Ion Perdicaris was kidnapped by Ahmed Raïssouni.

Ahmed Raïssouni demanded a ransom to liberate the US citizen. After many negotiations, Ion Perdicaris was liberated. This excruciating experience persuaded him to leave Tangier and go back to the US with his wife. The park belongs since then to the Moroccan State which is in charge of its maintenance and conservation.
