Introduction

The Sqala de la Kasbah is the sea-facing side of Essaouira's 18th-century fortress, a row of Atlantic-pointing cannons and arched niches. Woodcarving workshops and wheeling seabirds fill the scene — the classic spot to overlook the fishing port, recall sea defence and frame a postcard. Musicians and painters often fill the square below — where Essaouira's art and sea wind meet.
