"Copper Beaters Souk at Place Seffarine The plaza of Place Seffarine, dominated by the entrance to the al-Qarawiyin Library and a sturdy old tree, is one of the most pleasing areas in Fes. As you approach, you’ll hear the sound of the copper beaters tap, tap, tapping away. It’s well worth perusing the stallsto find high-quality cookware to take home, such as pixie pans for boiling milk for your coffee, copper tagines and teapots, and prettily etched bowls for use in the hammam. Stop at the café for seriously strong coffee and to watch the world go by, or scoot around the corner onto Derb Chouara for hot, sweet mint tea spiked with various other healing herbs at a hole-in-the-wall where you’ll rub shoulders with local craftspeople taking a break from their labors."

It was amazing to see the artisans working up close, hammering copper into all kinds of shapes. The pieces are stunning, and in one shop (I took a photo of the seller to remember it), I found the best tea pot in the Medina. It’s heavy, well-made, and the price was fair after some negotiating. Definitely worth visiting if you love and appreciate handmade work.

Lovely square to visit within the medina. And the Cremerie La Place - a small tea spots right at the top of the place was likely the best mint tea we had in Morocco. Highly recommend to visit, sit at the place with some great tea and observe the square.

Suggest to take a seat at the litte cafe in the small square the watch the craftsman making various metal goods. If you are in luck, a tiny adorable cat would also stay by your side to accompany you :)

Place Seffarine is a small yet enchanting square tucked away in the heart of the medina. Known for its metalworkers, the square is filled with the sound of artisans hammering away at copper and brass, creating beautiful handcrafted items. It's a fascinating place to watch traditional craftsmanship in action and soak in the local atmosphere. The surrounding buildings, with their historic charm, add to the ambiance. It's a peaceful spot to take a break from the hustle of the medina and explore a piece of Fez's artisanal heritage. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

This place is bustling! Love it! The Coppersmiths Square. Banging, hammering. Groups of Latin Americans, Asians blabbering. There are so many things to see in the medina and this should be on everybody list. Since there are many tourists, I was impressed to see 2 uniformed Tourist Police officers surveying the area, making sure there were no untoward incidents. Our guide explained that there were even plain clothes police officers here and there, ready for action : We ere even witness to that . Navigating the narrow alleys, a local started walking rapidly, brushing past us, cursing loudly in Arabic. In a matter of seconds, he was being chased by plain clothes officers and caught! It's reassuring to know that such measures are being implemented to somehow safeguard visitors. Nevertheless, one should always watch out for hustlers and keep your valuables close.

Beautiful little square in the always busy medina. Take a moment to just stand still and listen to the artisans at work. Look around and take it all in.
