Northern Borj faces its twin in the south of the city. Built in 1582 by Saadien Ahmed el-Mansour, the building was modified under the alawis dynasty; the four corners were equipped with spearhead angles, allowing a more effective defence. Borj houses a very interesting museum where you can discover a collection of weapons of the age. It was transferred from the Batha Museum in 1963, and the majority of the weapons present came from the Makina, a weapons factory based in Fez in the th century by the Sultan Moulay Rachid. The museum therefore proposes a chronology of different types of armaments in history, the age of stone in the twentieth century.

Voilà un musée peu fréquenté et très intéressant , le bâtiment est restauré à merveille, offre des beaux points de vue sur Fès. Les collections d'armements et d'armures sont mises en valeur. Une visite qui permet de s'évader quelques heures de la cohue de la médina. On peut très bien coupler la visite avec le tombeau des Mérinides peu distant.
