The cobbled square at the centre, with the kasbah on one side and café terraces under the trees. Beside it stands the Great Mosque, from the 15th century, with an octagonal minaret that is unusual in Morocco; only Muslims may enter, so you see it from outside.
It is the point you return to every time you get lost. Sit down in the late afternoon with a mint tea and watch it fill up: that is when locals come out for a stroll and the day-trip groups have already left.
