Welcome to Morocco! Ā Bienvenue a Maroc!
This model was designed by Dany SƔnchez.
The Sqala du PortĀ is an artillery platform built in the 1770's in Mogador (today Essaouira), Morocco. It is one of the main fortifications of the city.Ā Essaouira is located on the Atlantic coast, straight west of Marrakech, and had been inhabited through history by local Amazigh tribes, Phoenicians, Romans, Portuguese, a French occupation, and of course Moroccans.Ā
The SqalaĀ is located in the port of the city, right outside the walls. It is of Portuguese design, although commissioned by the Moroccan sultan of the time, and reusing stones from theĀ demolished "Castelo Real" (Royal Castle), a 1500's fortress situated in the same location from the times when the Portuguese controlled the city. It has several cannons of Spanish and Dutch manufacture (from Wikipedia).
This is by far one of Essaouira's (as-Sawirah) most visited and photographed landmarks, as it hosts a lively fish marketĀ where the catch of the day is sold cheaply.
