Moroccan Debt Administration

Established in 1904, the Moroccan Debt Administration was created to manage the sovereign debt of the Moroccan monarchy, particularly after significant financial strains following conflicts like the Hispano-Moroccan War. Initially functioning under French oversight, it played a crucial role in restructuring Morocco's debt and was involved in customs revenue collection. The administration's building, completed in 1910 in Moorish Revival style, is now home to the Regional Tourism Authority in Tangier and houses a library donated by scholar Abdellah Guennoun. This site reflects Morocco's complex financial history and its architectural heritage, making it a point of interest for tourists and researchers alike.
