    American Legation of Tangier Morocco

    By Morocco  |  Posted November 1, 2008  |  Tangier, Morocco
     

     

    A gift to the U.S. in 1821 from Moroccan Sultan Moulay Suliman, it is

    the first piece of property acquired abroad by the U.S. government.

     

     

    The

    original structure, a stone building of the 18th century, was

    incorporated into an enlarged complex surrounding an attractive

    courtyard.

     

     

    During the  first half of the 19th century a reception room

    was constructed over the narrow Rue d'Amerique.

     

     

    After 1891 a further

    expansion took place with the construction of a 3-story building along

    the same street and connected to the reception area.
