Tangier, Morocco Postcard – La Casbah and Tribunal, Early 20th Century
This vibrant vintage postcard captures a picturesque view of the Casbah in Tangier, Morocco, which has been a historic and strategic stronghold for centuries. The Casbah is an ancient fortress, originally built in the late 15th century during the Portuguese occupation of Tangier. It served as a defensive structure and was later expanded by various Moroccan dynasties. The Tribunal, also depicted in the postcard, is part of the administrative buildings within the Casbah, historically used for judicial purposes during the French and Spanish protectorates in the early 20th century.
In the background, a minaret rises from the nearby mosque, a hallmark of Moroccan architecture. Several locals dressed in traditional attire walk through the courtyard, providing a lively snapshot of daily life in the city during this period.
The reverse side of the postcard is blank, designed with space for correspondence and an address.
