Amezrou Ksar
The ksar of Amezrou across the Draa river from Zagora — a Jewish mellah ksar that was one of the most important silver-working centres in southern Morocco. The Jewish silversmiths of Amezrou produced the jewellery worn by Amazigh women across the entire south. The families left for Israel in the 1960s. The silver workshops are now occupied by their former apprentices.
