Bab Dekkakin or Bab Dekakene (Arabic: باب الدكاكين, romanized: bab ad-dekakin, lit. 'gate of the benches') is a fortified and ceremonial gate in Fes, Morocco. The gate is situated between the Old Mechouar (or Vieux Méchouar) and the New Mechouar (or Nouveau Méchouar) on the northern edge of Fes el-Jdid. The gate's original name was Bab es-Sebaa ("Gate of the Lion"), probably about a carved image or motif of a lion that has since disappeared. Originally, the name "Bab Dekkakin" was the name of what is now the gate to the Royal Palace itself, which was formerly the main entrance to the city (originally called Bab el-Oued or Bab el-Qantara) before the palace expanded to this point. Only later did the name come to designate Bab es-Sebaa. The name Bab Dekkakin means "Gate of the Benches" and is a reference to the previous existence of benches along the sides of the gate where those who were granted an audience inside the Palace would wait until called upon

There a sign that says moulay Hassan place. Old abandoned castle. Fun to explore. Do you so quickly, sometimes security may remove you .

You feel like you went back in time here, really cool castle gate and ruins. Atmosphere boost with the market too.

Me llamaba mucho la atención conocerla, pero esta muy descuidada. Impresiona el tamaño, pero de verdad le falta mantenimiento. La zona no esta muy aseada.
