Chefchaouen dates back to the fifteenth century, but it was not yet painted blue. But after the outbreak of World War II, the Jews resorted to fleeing Europe, especially Spain, to Morocco and settled in the city of Chefchaouen. And they painted the houses blue as a religious symbol for them at this time. As a result, it became the most beautiful city in Morocco as a result of the consistency of its bright colours.
