Qasr Al Bahr

Safi


The ruins of Safi's once-impressive castle are located next to the crashing waves of the Atlantic. Built to enforce Portuguese authority, house the town governor and protect the port, the tower also once housed prisoners who were kept in the basement before being killed or shipped as slaves. Now in an appalling state of disrepair, the castle is closed to the public while it awaits a long-overdue restoration.
