Abstract

A halt at the ramparts of Essaouira to rediscover its architecture. The city contains a specific and unique urban heritage, a rich past open to all cultures, and civilizations (European, Arab-Muslim and African). The Medina of Essaouira is legitimately part of the cultural heritage of humanity of the UNESCO. Indeed, Essaouir played, since its founding in the 18th century and early 20th century, a fundamental role in international trade. It is a crossroads of civilizations. The Medina is also a unique example of a meeting between European and Moroccan architectural style. In Essaouira, external influences are harmoniously integrated.
