Souk Semmarine
The main artery of the Marrakech souk quarter, roofed with a latticed canopy that filters the light into something golden and diffuse. The name comes from the tinsmiths who originally worked here. The tinsmiths are gone. What replaced them is a curated version of the medina — but the architecture and the light are still entirely real.
