Description
Sqala du Port is an essential component of the defensive architecture of Essaouira’s Medina. It was originally designed to protect the port from potential maritime attacks. Architecturally, it consists of two fortified wings, each 200 meters long, intersecting at a right angle. One wing, located behind the Gate of the Navy, overlooks the quay and the dry dock, while the other faces the archipelago and rises above stores that once housed soldiers, ammunition, and water supplies.
