Tangier's American Legation Named One of the Most Endangered Historic Sites in the U.S.
In a significant recognition of a cherished symbol of the friendship between the United States and Morocco, U.S. Ambassador to Morocco, Puneet Talwar, recently announced on Instagram that the American Legation in Tangier has been listed as one of the most endangered historic sites in the United States by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Located in the heart of Tangier's medina, the American Legation is a living testament to the enduring ties between the two nations. Given that Morocco is the United States' oldest ally, the legation tells the story of how American diplomacy established connections with Morocco from its earliest years. The building itself was a gift from Morocco to the United States, and this recognition by the National Trust emphasizes its historical significance.
Ambassador Talwar hopes that this designation will bring the necessary resources to the urgent task of preserving this iconic structure. The aim is to ensure that the legation can continue to welcome Moroccans and Americans for many years to come, as it has done for centuries.
The American Legation in Tangier serves not only as a symbol of the friendship between the United States and Morocco, but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical and cultural heritage. This designation marks a crucial step in ensuring the safeguarding of this precious monument and in strengthening the bonds of friendship between the two countries.
