    Description

    welcome
    The Sqala of the port essaouira was built in 1769, under the orders of Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdellah, of the Alawite dynasty1. The Castelo Real was there, and was destroyed for the construction of the port of Essaouira and its ramparts. The stones of the old Castelo Real were used for the construction of the Sqala du Port2. It participated in the defense of the city during the bombardment of Mogador operated by France, as part of the Franco-Moroccan war3. It is classified as a historical monument since the dahir of August 30, 1924
    the Sqala of the port
    consists of two fortified wings of 200 meters intersecting at right angles, connected to the Bab el-Marsa and dominated by the Borj el-Barmil. Its main function is the defense of the port.
