Public library

This was a former school (now a public library) that our tour guide had attended years ago. There was a Star of David over the front door, but he said it was just a common motif in Islamic art and didn’t signify anything having to do with Judaism. I’m not sure I believe that because I understand all the blue in Moroccan cities originated with their Jewish inhabitants, and Chefchaouen is the bluest of them all.

The courtyard of the library:
