Dar Bouazza Kasbah

The fortress features a square layout with three observation towers located at the northeast, northwest, and southwest corners of the structure.

Built in the late 19th century by merchant Bou Azza Erriguette from the Hraouine tribe, the kasbah later became property of Sultan Abdelaziz ben Hassan.

French engineer Gabriel Veyre, who received the kasbah from the Sultan, captured the first official photographs of Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz at this location.

The structure measures 77 meters in length and width, covering 5,929 square meters of land approximately 600 meters from the Atlantic Ocean.

Gabriel Veyre established an experimental farm at the kasbah, conducting agricultural tests including ostrich farming and asphodel distillation for fuel production.
