Tadla

Tadla is a plain of central Morocco crossed by the Oum er-Rbia River and bordered by the Atlas Mountains. Its farmland and river crossings made it an important region between the northern and southern parts of the kingdom. In 1687 Sultan Moulay Ismail built a kasbah on the river’s right bank. The fortress guarded the route through Tadla and became the nucleus of Kasba Tadla.
