The first real town of the Middle Atlas, AZROU
![Page 9: Morocco again34 from Fes to Marrakech(1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/587221611a28ab3f188b84b7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Azrou grew at the crossroads of two major routes – north to Meknes and Fez, south to Khenifra and Midelt – and long held a strategic role in controlling the mountain Berbers. Moulay Ismail built a kasbah here, the remains of which survive, while more recently the French established the prestigious Collège Berbère – one plank in their policy to split the country’s Berbers from the urban Arabs

The city was long neglected by the Moroccan authorities since independence in 1956 to the detriment of the nearby town of Ifrane

Azrou is the Berber word for rock and town takes its name from the huge rock mountain near the centre of town.

Cedrus atlantica, the Atlas cedar, is a cedar native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco (Middle Atlas, High Atlas), to the Rif, and to the Tell Atlas in Algeria. A majority of the modern sources treat it as a distinct species Cedrus atlantica, but some sources consider it a subspecies of Lebanon cedar (C. libani subsp. atlantica)
