Enjoy the sardine grilled outdoors in the harbor’s small restaurants, then discover the Scala du Port, a crenelated bastion built to protect the harbor and the city. It consists of two fortified wings behind the Navy gate. Leaving the port Scala, enter Moulay Hassan square. Discover the kasbah, a district surrounded by ramparts with foundations anchored in the rock. Walk along the ramparts taking the street that leads to the Scala of the Kasbah, where the famous guns of Essaouira line up. This place was chosen by Orson Welles to turn the exterior sets of his Othello.
At the heart of the Kasbah, the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions is the mirror and the collective memory of the province of Essaouira. You will discover the ritual or profane musical instruments of the Assaoua, Hamadcha, and Gnaoua brotherhoods. Every year in June, the world-renowned Gnaoua Festival of Essaouira takes place.
