The Blues
The city of Chefchaouen, in
northwest Morocco, features
many buildings painted blue.
According to legend, the
practice of blue buildings
dates to the 15th century,
when Jews fled the Spanish
Inquisition and settled in
Chefchaouen. In the Jewish
faith, blue reminds worship-
pers of the sky, and there-
fore, God.
