Borj Nord برج الشمال

Borj Nord or Burj al-Shamal (Arabic: برج الشمال), Al-Burj ash-Shamali (Arabic: البرج الشمالي) is a fort in the city of Fez, Morocco. It was first established in 1582 by the Saadi dynasty, modeled after the Portuguese forts in the 16th century. It is among the largest defense structures around the city of Fez and one of the few to incorporate European-style changes in military architecture in the gunpowder age. Today, the fort is open to the public as the Museum of Arms.
