History

A layered history shaped by many civilizations

Morocco has a long and diverse heritage that reaches back to prehistoric times. The Berbers, who have deep roots in the region, played a central role in the country’s development. Over time, the area was influenced by Mediterranean civilizations, including the Roman world in the north.

In the 7th century, Arab expansion introduced Islam, which became a defining element of Moroccan identity. Across the centuries, dynasties such as the Idrissids, Almoravids, Almohads, and Merinids contributed to the political, cultural, and architectural evolution of the country.
