Perdicaris Park

The Perdicaris Park, also known as the Rmilat Forest and formerly as Villa Aidonia or Place of the Nightingales, is a public park covering 70 hectares in the Rmilat neighborhood of Tangier, Morocco.

It is located on the northern slopes of the Jebel Kebir hill facing the Strait of Gibraltar, between the Cape Spartel reserve to its west and the Jebel Kebir Royal Palace to its east.

[1] In 1930, the Perdicaris family sold it to Marrakesh-based strongman Thami El Glaoui, who used it as his residence when visiting Tangier.

[3][4] After the death of El Glaoui followed by the independence of Morocco in 1956, the park became a state property.

[6] The villa was repurposed as a heritage center, inaugurated in early 2022.
