Poster Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
Essaouira city, Morocco
Essaouira is a city in the western Moroccan economic region of Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, on the Atlantic coast. The city was known in the time of 11th-century geographer al-Bakri and, as he reported, was called Sidi Megdoul. In the 16th-century, a corruption of this name became known to the Portuguese as Mogador. The Medina of Essaouira (formerly Mogador ) is a UNESCO World Heritage listed city, an example of a late 18th-century fortified town, as transferred to North Africa by European colonists. The medina is home to many small arts and crafts businesses, notably cabinet making and thuya wood-carving (using roots of the Tetraclinis tree), both of which have been practised in Essaouira for centuries. The fishing harbour, suffering from the competition of Agadir and Safi remains rather small, although the catches (sardines, conger eels) are surprisingly abundant due to the coastal upwelling generated by the powerful trade winds and the Canaries Current. Essaouira remains one of the major fishing harbours of Morocco.
This town was the setting for several scenes of the popular Game of Thrones and as Othello version of Orson Welles

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the timeless beauty of Essaouira city, this stunning print transports you to the enchanting coastal region of Morocco. Known as Mogador in Portuguese times and later renamed Essaouira, this UNESCO World Heritage listed city is a true gem of North Africa. The photograph showcases the mesmerizing Medina of Essaouira, a late 18th-century fortified town that reflects the influence of European colonists. As you explore its narrow streets and bustling markets, you'll discover an array of small arts and crafts businesses, including traditional cabinet making and thuya wood-carving. Essaouira's fishing harbor may be modest in size compared to Agadir or Safi, but it remains a vital part of the city's identity. Thanks to powerful trade winds and the Canaries Current, local fishermen enjoy abundant catches such as sardines and conger eels. It's no wonder that Essaouira continues to thrive as one of Morocco's major fishing harbors. Beyond its historical significance and natural bounty, Essaouira has also made its mark on popular culture. This town served as a backdrop for scenes in Game of Thrones and Orson Welles' version of Othello. Allow this print to transport you to the vibrant streets, rich history, and breathtaking coastal views that make Essaouira an unforgettable destination.
