armed fortification in Essaouira, with 4-sided dungeons, used to defend the port from outside attack

A walk at dusk, in order to rediscover the grandiose atmosphere of this platform, the magical setting of the famous Othello. Orson Welles' film, shot on location on the ramparts and on the Skala, won the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival in 1952. This 17th century armed fortification, larger than the Kasbah, was used to defend the port from outside attacks. On the four faces of the dungeons, you can still see the inscription "Barakat Mohammed", the motto of the city invoking the blessing of the Prophet on the inhabitants.
