The Essaouira Ramparts in Essaouira, Morocco, are a striking historical feature of the city, offering a glimpse into its fortified past. Constructed in the 18th century by European architects commissioned by Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah, these robust stone walls were built to protect the city from sea invasions. The ramparts provide stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the bustling medina below. Visitors can explore the Skala de la Ville, a series of artillery platforms lined with old cannons, and wander along the walls to appreciate the blend of military engineering and scenic beauty.
