Built in 1917 and decorated with polychrome tiles, this is the mosque right next to the grand socco.
Sidi Bou Abid Mosque is a mosque overlooking the Grand Socco medina area of central Tangier, Morocco from the southwest. It was built in 1917 and is decorated in polychrome tiles. Near Bab Fahs, the Mendoubia Gardens are a double gateway leading into the medina.

Grand Socco
A large lively park-like square just southwest of the medina. Next to it there's the Sidi Bou Abib Mosque. Go to the souk on Thursday or Sunday mornings to see the Rif mountain women in their colourful costumes selling their produce and dairy products all along the wall of the St. Andrew's Church (English Church).
After the first Anglican church got too small, the current one was built behind the Sidi Bou Abib mosque. The church is built in Moorish style and the belltower is shaped like a minaret. In the graveyard next to the church rests prominent British figures in the history of the city, including the officers Sir Harry MacLean and Roy Howell with his wife Claire de Menasce, the criminal Paul Lund and writer Walter Burton Harris. There's also a plaque commemorating Emily Keene, who introduced the cholera vaccine to Morocco (her grave is elsewhere).
The continuation of the grand socco to the west, this garden features a large marble fountain and park benches.
Musée de la Fondation Lorin
An art museum, or maybe rather an archive related to the history of Tangier opened in 1930 in a former synagogue. In addition to art, there are newspapers, photographs and posters on display.
Built by the Spanish in the 1870s in modernist style, this is the main place of worship for Tangier's Christian community.
Museum showcasing Moroccan modern art, mostly traveling exhibitions.
