Jamaâ El Fna Square dates back to the founding of the city of Marrakech, where it was built during the reign of the Almoravid state during the fifteenth century, but its importance increased after the construction of the Kutaybah Mosque nearly a century ago and this square was the nucleus of shopping at that time.
Kings used the square as a large courtyard to show off their armies and stand on the preparations of their forces before launching the battles to unite cities and countries and wars of independence and since that date it is one of the most important places of tourism in Marrakech, and a symbol of the city proud of its vitality and attractiveness to Arab and foreign tourists.
