Essaouira Tapestries

Essaouira is a fishing port on the coast of Morocco. The old town, seen in the image, is protected by 18th century fortifications designed and built by the French architect who designed St Malo in Brittany, These cannon lined ramparts were built to protect the old town or Medina which has been a world heritage site since 2001. The harbour beneath the walls is packed with both colourful small fishing boats and larger deep sea vessels.

Carpets displayed for sale in the medina (old town) at Essaouira, an old fortified city on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. This is a digital drawing developed from my original photograph.

The Citadel in the harbour at Essaouira on the Moroccan coast. This fortification was created in the French style under the orders of Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdullah in the C18th. He established Essaouira as his capital using European architects to employ the latest techniques and give it a 'modern' look (for the 1700s!). The Sultan named his city Es-Saouira meaning 'the beautifully designed'. Being a fishing port gulls are everywhere! This image has been given an 'oil painting' effect. Nikon D200 Nikkor 18-200
