Detail of a gate in the Medina of Essaouira
Detail of a gate in the Medina of Essaouira.
Essaouira is a city in western Moroccan on the Atlantic coast. The Medina of Essaouira is a UNESCO World Heritage listed city, an example of a late 18th-century fortified town, as transferred to North Africa by European colonists.
What fascinates visitors in Essaouira are the white-washed house walls, the blue doors and windows which are reminiscent of Mediterranean islands. Owing to the straight main streets, you will have no problem finding your way and even if you get lost in the numerous small lanes, sooner or later you will find a main street again... or a dead-end
Unleash your creativity and transform your space into a visual masterpiece!
