Happy Moroccan Independence Day 🇲🇦 - View over the Chouara Tannery in the tannery and dyeing district of Fes 📍Morocco 🇲🇦 // #NativeThreads ⠀

Local tradition holds that the Chouara Tannery dates from the city's foundation by Idris II in the beginning of the 9th century. The tanneries were a major industry in the city's early history and tied to a large part of its economy. The products of the city's tanneries were also prestigious enough that they were reportedly exported all the way to Baghdad.
