A Brief History of Moroccan Tile Fountains

The history of Moroccan tile fountains is as rich and layered as the designs that adorn them. These fountains have been a central element in Moroccan architecture for centuries, gracing the courtyards of riads, palaces, mosques, and public gardens. Rooted in Islamic design principles, which emphasize symmetry and intricate geometric patterns, Moroccan tile fountains combine function with artistry, creating a peaceful environment that invites contemplation and relaxation.

Historically, water has held a special place in Moroccan culture, symbolizing life, purity, and tranquility. In the arid climate of North Africa, fountains provided not only a practical source of water but also a refreshing focal point in homes and public spaces. The concept of the “riad”, a traditional Moroccan house with an interior garden or courtyard, often featured a central fountain as a symbol of prosperity and calm. These fountains were adorned with colorful zellige tiles, a hallmark of Moroccan craftsmanship.

Zellige tilework, made by piecing together individually hand-cut glazed tiles, forms the stunning mosaics seen on Moroccan fountains. This intricate process can take weeks or even months, depending on the complexity of the design, and requires the skill of master artisans who have perfected the craft over generations. Each piece is unique, carrying the imprint of the artisan’s hand and the cultural heritage of Morocco.

Moroccan Fountains Today

In modern design, Moroccan tile fountains are sought after for their beauty and versatility. Whether used indoors or outdoors, they serve as eye-catching statement pieces that add elegance and a sense of tranquility to any space. Their distinctive colors—deep blues, vibrant yellows, rich greens, and striking reds—contrast beautifully with natural surroundings, making them a popular choice for gardens, patios, and courtyards.

At Voyage, we believe that every space deserves a touch of artistry, and our Moroccan tile fountains are perfect for those looking to add timeless charm to their homes or businesses. Each fountain in our collection is hand-crafted by artisans in Morocco, ensuring authenticity and quality. The zellige tilework is designed to be both decorative and durable, capable of withstanding the elements while retaining its vibrant color and beauty for years to come.

Three Sizes, Endless Possibilities

Whether you're working with a small patio or a sprawling garden, Voyage offers Moroccan fountains in three sizes to suit your space. Each size is designed to bring the perfect balance of beauty and function:
