Xal Al Bahr Fortress

Xal al Bahr is a former Portuguese fortress located in the port town of Safi, north of Agadir. Xal al Bahr is one of the main tourist attractions of the city. In the 12th century, Safi became a religious and cultural center. In 1508, Safi was occupied by the Portuguese and the city remained under their control until 1541. On the coast, the Portuguese built the fortress of Xal al Bahr, which is still preserved and serves the city as a cultural and historical monument of architecture.

In 2005, the fortress was closed for restoration for a year.
