Kasbah Cherarda

Kasbah Cherarda (Arabic: قصبة شراردة) is a kasbah in the city of Fez, Morocco, located on the northern outskirts of Fes el-Jdid. It was initially referred to as Kasbah el-Khemis, the "Thursday Fort" (Arabic: قصبة الخمس) as there was an open market held every Thursday outside the wall.^[1]

The name cherarda (or sherarda) originates from the name of an Arab tribe whose qaid had also previously built a kasbah here in order to protect the tribe's granaries.^[2]^{: 295–296} The current kasbah was created by the Alaouite sultan Mulay al-Rashid after he took over the city in 1666, acting as a garrison fort to house his tribal troops (referred to as guich or "army" tribes).^[3]^[1]^[4]^[2] It covers a large rectangular area measuring 400 by 550 meters.^[2]^: 294 The tribe of Ashrafah occupied the fortress during the war between the Sultan and his brother Mohammed, before being deported.^[4] It constituted one of a number of similar fortifications established across the outskirts of Fes, throughout the city's history. Today the kasbah is occupied by a hospital, a high school, and, since 1959–60, a branch or annex of the University of al-Qarawiyyin.^[5]
