The Sqala du Port was built in 1769, under the orders of Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdellah, of the Alaouite dynasty. The Castelo Real was there, and was destroyed for the construction of the port of Essaouira and its ramparts. The stones of the old Castelo Real were used for the construction of the Sqala du Port2. She took part in the defense of the city during the bombardment of Mogador operated by France, within the framework of the Franco-Moroccan war3.

The ramparts of Essaouira are an important part of the history of Essaouira, a Moroccan maritime city on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It was in 1506 that the Portuguese built the first ramparts of the city, then called Mogador, which was considered to be an important strategic location. In addition to these ramparts, a port was also built, Mogador then became a key trading post for the Portuguese. The construction of the Fortress, named Castelo Real by the Portuguese, and its ramparts have the main purpose of protecting themselves from foreign invasions, the city being too vulnerable without them. Thus, the ramparts made it possible to repel the successive attacks on the city by the Spaniards, the English, the Dutch and the French. These ramparts, as well as the Castelo Real, will be destroyed in the 18th century by Mohammed III, the Moroccan sultan of the time.
