TANGIER : THE AMERICAN LEGATION MUSEUM

This museum retraces the history of the relationship between the United States and Morocco.
As Morocco was one of the first countries to recognise its independence, the USA established its legation in Tangier in 1821, It holds the distinction of being the only historical monument to have remained in its possession since the birth of the American nation.

On display is a letter from George Washington to Moulay Abdallah, a collection of mirrors and works by Lecouteux and Ben Ali R'Bati, the first Moroccan "naif" painter...
