A gift to the fledgling United States from the Sultan of Morocco in 1821, the Tangier American Legation is today a vibrant museum, research, and cultural center and the only U.S. National historic landmark located overseas.
FLASHBACK FRIDAY - Grand Socco in the early twentieth century, from the Legation's glass negative collection. Find more archival images of Tangier's history at archnet.org.

We'd love to greet you in person, but if you can't come physically you can still explore at https://legation.org/virtual-tour/index.htm. Warm thanks to Juan Ramón Roca Vicente-Franqueira and Demetrio Carlos García Esteban, film teachers at Luis Garcia Berlanga school in Alicante, Spain, for filming and developing this marvelous tour.

🎬 Free Movie Night! Join us Monday, October 12th at 6:00 PM for The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), directed by William Wyler.
Released just one year after the end of World War II, the film captures a moment of real uncertainty in American life: millions of soldiers were returning home, and the country was grappling with how to welcome them back into a society forever changed by war. Three veterans rebuild their lives, their families, and their sense of belonging in a film so moving that it swept the Oscars, winning 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Free admission — bring a friend and join us for an evening of great American cinema!
