The Fes Jdid Wall: Power, Water, and the City That Split Morocco

In 1276, the Marinid sultan Abu Yusuf Yaqub founded Fes Jdid, a new royal city outside the walls of old Fez. This episode follows the wall that separated power from the people — and the water system that kept the sultan's gardens green while the medina below went thirsty. We look at the political calculation behind the move, the hydraulic engineering that made it work, and the moment, centuries later, when the wall became a symbol of division. We also catch a glimpse of the Jewish quarter that grew up under the palace's shadow, and how Fes Jdid's streets still carry the memory of a dynasty that tried to build a city apart. #FesJdid #Marinid #AbuYusufYaqub #Morocco #Fez #HydraulicEngineering #MedievalUrbanism #PalaceCity #Mellah #BerberDynasty #IslamicHistory #NorthAfrica #RoyalCity #WaterHistory #CityWalls #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
