Kasbah d'Agadir Oufella

The project of the rehabilitation of the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella

The Kasbah of Agadir Oufella stands tall as one of Agadir’s most iconic heritage sites. This exceptional promontory overlooking the bustling port has been declared a historical monument not once, but twice.

The first decree was issued on July 30, 1932, and the second on March 23, 1944. From the top of the fortress, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding countryside. The recognition of this site as a historical monument testifies to its profound cultural and historical importance for the Moroccan people.

… It is obvious that what is lost by one people, is also lost for the whole of humanity. Just as it is certain that the incapacity of a great number of countries of the South to protect their national heritage, will make humanity lose precious treasures of its history and a fundamental aspect of its diversity.
