Zellige
Zellige is a traditional Moroccan tilework made from hand-cut ceramic tiles, known for their vibrant colors and intricate geometric patterns. Each tile is crafted from clay, glazed, and then fired, resulting in a unique finish. The tiles are often used to decorate walls, floors, and fountains, showcasing the artistry of Moroccan craftsmanship.
The art of Zellige dates back to the 10th century and has roots in Islamic architecture. It reflects the cultural heritage of Morocco and is often seen in historical sites, palaces, and mosques. The meticulous process of creating Zellige tiles requires skilled artisans, making each piece a work of art.
