This is the first American historical monument located outside the United States. It is a small palace in the heart of the Kasbah, offered in 1821 by Sultan Moulay Suleiman to the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe. once called «consulate» until 1923, then it was adopted through a new naming ‘’legation’’. This was a significant event for the U.S. government as it was one of the first pieces of property the government had ever owned from abroad. Today, we find inside it a collection of pictures on Moroccan history, maps, prints of Tangier, and historical events that took place in the Medina, and The McBey Collection, which includes several paintings from over forty artists originating from eleven countries.
