Larache, Port city in northern Morocco.

The streets of Larache extend from Place de la Libération square toward the Atlantic Ocean, featuring white buildings and numerous terraced cafés.

Portuguese settlers established control of Larache in 1471, leading to a period of decline until Sultan Mohammed ash-Sheikh initiated its repopulation in the 16th century.

The central market of Larache displays Arab-Andalusian architectural elements, connecting the modern section with the traditional medina through the Bab el Medina gate.

Larache contains two distinct beach sections divided by a jetty, with one side providing strong waves and the other offering calmer waters for swimming.

The Loukkos River meets the Atlantic Ocean at Larache, creating a natural harbor that supported the development of commercial and artisanal fishing industries.
