    Borj Nord 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 public as the Museum of Arms.

    The weapons are a treasure to examine but the true beauty is the amazing views from the top of the fort on a cloudless day.

    Entrance fee is only 10 dirham. Good collection of weapons, unfortunately no English description. The place is well maintained and there's not too many visitor. Remember to go up the rooftop for bird's eyes view of the medina and the surrounding area. The walkway leading to this museum also offer a great view of the medina.

    Well preserved facade, providing a good photo opportunity. Large collection of weapons including revolvers, sabers and rifles. The terrace will give you a bird-eye view over the city. Good spot for sunset photography.
