About this spot
The city walls of Essaouira, also known as the Skala de la Ville, are a remarkable feature of this enchanting coastal city in Morocco. Constructed in the mid-18th century by European engineers under the orders of Sultan Mohammed III, these walls were designed to protect the city from potential invaders and to showcase the sultan's power. Standing as a testament to the fusion of Moroccan and European architectural styles, the walls are characterized by their imposing ramparts, bastions, and watchtowers. Visitors to Essaouira can walk along the walls, taking in the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the bustling Medina, while absorbing the history and charm that the city has to offer.
