Previously known as Dar al Makhzen, the Kasbah Museum has an important history to it. It once served as the residence for Portuguese governors from 1471 to 1661 and then became a castle used by the English governors between 1662 and 1684. Today, Kasbah Museum exhibits various archaeological and ethnographic objects from north Morocco.
The museum has two rooms - one called ‘From First Hunters to First Farmers' with a collection of prehistoric items and the second room with an array of objects from the Roman era. Artistic works from different periods include jewellery, leather goods, textiles, carpets, manuscripts and silk items. There are also artefacts that are displayed which are significant to Islamic history, like domes and cedars.
