Bab Taghout Taroudant
Bab Taghout is the nearest of Taroundant wall's old gates to our house. It has always been really immpressive with wonderful medieval doors permanently open. Recently UNESCO gave money to repair the walls and Bab Taghout appears to be an early beneficiary. Half has already been repaired seemingly by rebuilding al la Carcassonne and the other half is underway and screened off but see how they have had to demolish the wall adjacent to the gate to let the lorries in. The gateway itself is now oneway and there is actually a no entry sign - the first I've seen in the town. Is the 20c catching up with Taroudant it may be traffic lights next.
