Fes Zdid is one of the three largest settlements in Fes. It was founded in 1276 by the Mirindis. Zhdid is the only one of the large settlements that has a gate through which you enter the Melach (Jewish settlement in the city). In this part of Morocco there are new buildings and gardens from Fez el-Bali. For several years after its foundation, Fes Jdid had a royal residence.
