What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's account of 1861 is misleading: Spanish troops did take Tetuan in the war of 1859-60, but the city was handed back to Morocco in 1862 once an indemnity was agreed. Spain returned in 1913, and from then until Moroccan independence in 1956 Tetuan (Tetouan) served as the capital of the Spanish Protectorate, which left it with a Spanish-built new town alongside the old walled quarter. That medina was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997. The "about 25,000" inhabitants of 1921 have become a city of roughly 380,000, now part of Morocco's Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region.
