Kasbah of Agadir Oufella

Built in 1540, all that remains of the old Kasbah are the fortified walls. However, the trip up the hill to this historic site is worth it for the view alone. Engraved into the hill in Arabic are the words God, Country and King; the Moroccans are forbidden from speaking ill of any of the three. If you are interested in history, you can easily find a professional guide to take you on a tour.
