It is the place of origin of the members of the Saadi Dynasty. Despite the fact that Tagmadert is indicated on most older European maps, there is some uncertainty about its exact location. According to Charles de Foucauld its location was identical to present-day Fezouata, the district directly north of the Ktawa, including the village of Tamegroute.[1] There is a description of Tagmadert by the 17th century traveller Marmol.[2] The name seems to have referred to both a district and a town.
