Souk Haddadine – Lampshades, lanterns

Souk Haddadine vibrates with the methodical, percussive clanging of hammers striking iron and brass, a sound that defines this quarter of the medina. Haddadine translates to blacksmiths, and this section of the city houses the artisans who shape wrought iron into window grilles, furniture, and the intricate lanterns that cast patterned light across the city walls.
