Skala du Port

A line of old bronze cannons on their carriages behind a stone parapet, a round watchtower and crenellated sea wall beyond under a deep blue sky.

This honey-colored bastion looms over the picturesque harbor and its sea-blue fishing boats. Look back at the walled medina from here, through a curtain of screeching seagulls, and you’ll get the same evocative image of the city that appears on all the posters. It appeared as Astapor in Game of Thrones too.
