Melilla

Melilla (Arabic: مليلية (Maliliyyah), Berber: ⵎⵔⵉⵜⵙ (Mřič)) is a charming Spanish exclave in North Africa, with a small surface area of just 14 km² and a population of around 85,000 inhabitants, 130 km from the Spanish mainland, in the heart of the Rif region, bordered to the east by the Alboran Sea and to the south by Morocco. The city is characterised by its cultural fusion, which is evident in its languages, cuisine, religious sites, and architecture. It is home to synagogues, mosques, and churches, alongside an exceptional variety of modernist architecture.
