Summary
The Medina of Tétouan emerges as a unique urban, architectural, and landscape entity, blending historical depth with modern dynamism. This study reveals how the interplay between the historic medina, its cemeteries, and the 19th-century expansion (ensanche) creates a cohesive cultural landscape, marked by syncretic design elements that reflect shared identities. The research highlights the medina's role as both an anchor to tradition and a bridge to modernity, with its forms and functions deeply embedded in local life. Methodologically, it employs urban analysis and architectural syncretism to demonstrate how these three components—historical, funerary, and modern—interact to form Tétouan's distinct identity within the Mediterranean context.
