The ancient casbah :

Situated on a hill at 236 m the site of the ancient casbah offer a magnificent view on the bay of Agadir. In 1450 Mohammed ech Cheikh ordered the construction of a fortress in order to protect the kingdom of the Portuguese attacks.
Two centuries later, Moulay Abdallah installed an army of 2 000 soldiers in order to previw an eventual Portuguese invasion.

Unfortunately, the city was entirely destroyed by the seism of 1960. There are only the ramparts that subsist from that ancient city, that were partially rebuilt and on the entrance door we can read an inscription: ‘God bless the king’ in hollandaise, which reminds of the hollandaise counter here in Agadir in the 17th century.
