Colline du Charf

Colline du Charf

The Colline du Charf is a hill of approximately 100 metres (328 feet) overlooking Tangier on the Mediterranean in northern Morocco.[1] The hill offers a panoramic view of Tangier and the coastline from Cap Malabata in the east to La Montagne in the west. The hill has a number of high-rise buildings and towards the foot of the hill is some of the poor residential districts of Tangier and the Plaza Toro. The Syrian Mosque of Tangier is also located on the hill and is noted for its style of minaret, rare to the region.
