The Portuguese ramparts of Asilah facing the Atlantic Ocean at sunset

Portuguese-built fortifications from the fifteenth century, facing the Atlantic. The ramparts walk at sunset — with the ocean crashing below and the medina murals glowing behind — is one of the most underrated views on the Moroccan coast.

The ramparts walk at sunset is how we close every Asilah visit. The Portuguese walls face west — the timing is deliberate.
