Fassi Zellige, one of the most iconic symbols of Moroccan civilization, has recently taken center stage in the promotion of Moroccan heritage worldwide. This surge in popularity has sparked frustration among Algeria’s ruling elite, who have repeatedly attempted—without historical basis—to claim this ancient art as part of their own cultural identity.
As one of the finest and oldest artisanal crafts originating from Morocco’s intellectual capital, Fez, Fassi Zellige has gained widespread recognition on social media. It is now a prominent visual symbol representing Moroccan architecture at major international events and exhibitions. Many cultural and tourism institutions have incorporated Fassi Zellige into their marketing campaigns, further solidifying its status as a defining element of Moroccan identity.
While Moroccan artisans continue to preserve and innovate within this craft, the Algerian regime finds itself in an embarrassing position. Its repeated efforts to appropriate this historic Moroccan heritage have failed in the face of undeniable historical evidence proving its deep-rooted origins in Fez.
This digital engagement with Fassi Zellige is not just a victory in cultural promotion but also a soft-power triumph for Morocco in the ongoing identity battle. As Moroccans actively document and showcase their rich heritage, Algeria’s propaganda machine struggles with contradictions in the face of this undeniable reality.
With its brilliance and authenticity, Fassi Zellige stands as a testament to the mastery of Moroccan artisans, who have elevated Fez to a beacon of civilization. Their craftsmanship has left a lasting mark not only on Moroccan architecture but on global heritage as well.
