Tétouan is a port city in Morocco with a privileged geographical location, near the Strait of Gibraltar and about an hour’s drive from Tangier, in the Martil Valley.
Here, natural beauty blends seamlessly with the city’s rich historical and artistic heritage. Surrounded by the Rif Mountains, with their majestic peaks and cedar forests, the city is bordered by the Martil River, which flows into the Mediterranean Sea and forms a stretch of soft sandy coastline just a short distance from the centre.
Its historic Medina, dating back to the 8th century, is enclosed on three sides by walls with seven gates and is home to numerous mosques and shrines. Within its maze of narrow streets and small squares, traditional white- and green-painted houses sit alongside vibrant souks and the former Jewish quarter, the Mellah, whose main avenue leads to the Royal Palace. Owing to its outstanding cultural and historical value, the Medina was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Overlooking the city from a plateau lies the ancient site of Tamuda, a place of great historical significance that also offers striking views over Tétouan. Originally founded in the 3rd century BC by the first king of Mauretania, Baga, it later became an important trading centre. During the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus, it was incorporated into the province of Mauretania Tingitana, and around 40 AD the Romans established a castrum, a fortified military camp, on the site.
Reminders of its past as the capital of the Spanish Protectorate can still be seen in Spanish colonial-style buildings, such as the Church of Our Lady of Victory, built between 1913 and 1956, and the old Spanish casino from the 1920s.
Tétouan’s modern identity is reflected in the wide range of public services available to its residents. Among these are the numerous healthcare facilities such as the newly built Mohammed VI University Hospital Centre of Tétouan, inaugurated in 2023.
This state-of-the-art hospital features contemporary architecture and advanced medical equipment. It offers a broad range of specialist departments including cardiology, pulmonology, haematology, as well as paediatrics and obstetrics. It also includes highly advanced computerised operating theatres and dedicated intensive care units. In addition, it serves as a centre of excellence for the training of medical and paramedical staff, as well as for research in the health sciences. It works, in fact, closely with the Oncology Centre and the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy.
As such, the hospital represents a key healthcare reference point for the wider area covering northern Morocco, including Tétouan, Tangier, and Al Hoceima.
During construction, the lighting system played a key role and was entrusted to Disano due to its long-standing expertise in the hospital lighting sector. The Italian company selected a range of high-performance solutions. The project involved the installation of Rodi, Ermetica, Eco Lex and Susa luminaires, tailored to the specific requirements of each area.
In detail, Rodi and Ecolex by Fosnova (a company of the Disano group) were used in both operational areas and communal spaces, such as waiting rooms. For operating theatres, where maximum sterility is essential, Ermetica luminaires were installed, specifically designed for this type of environment.
All systems incorporate the most advanced indoor LED technology, delivering high-quality light, uniform distribution, effective heat dissipation, and excellent colour rendering. The stable and precise luminous flux significantly reduces flicker, helping protect visual health. In addition, LED technology guarantees long service life and offers reduced energy consumption and maintenance costs.
For outdoor areas and car parks, Susa products were selected. Like all Disano solutions, they feature advanced optics and state-of-the-art LED sources, providing efficient, high-performance lighting with further energy savings.
Thanks to this project, Disano luminaires ensure uniform, reliable lighting across all areas of the hospital, both indoors and outdoors, delivering a solution that is safe, efficient, stable, and cost-effective.
