Dar Batha Museum
دار البطحاء
A museum in a late 19th-century palace featuring Fez ceramics and Islamic art, with an Andalusian-style garden.
Dar Batha was built at the end of the 19th century under the Alaouite dynasty and converted into a museum in 1915. After restoration, it reopened as a museum of Islamic art. Its collection focuses on the famous blue ceramics of Fez, embroidery, cedar carvings, Quran manuscripts and astrolabes. The central Andalusian-style garden is planted with citrus trees and palms, making it a quiet retreat on the edge of the old city. It is located near Blue Gate. Admission is about 30 dirhams, and allow about an hour.
