An alley in the souks of Essaouira
Essaouira - the jewel of the Atlantica - is a small fortified port in western Morocco on the same latitude as Marrakech, between Safi and Agadir.
This town was the setting for several scenes of the popular Game of Thrones and as Othello version of Orson Welles.
The Medina of Essaouira 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 town-planning was entrusted to the Frenchman Theodore Cornut, disciple of Vauban, who gave the city its present look, building ramparts and straight, wide streets.
When entering in tle old Medina, you find yourself in the midst of an animated and joyful crowd, where everybody is going about his own business. There are no motor vehicles here, everything is carried by carts sometimes drawn by mules. What fascinates visitors are the white-washed house walls, the blue doors and windows which are reminiscent of Mediterranean islands. Owing to the straight main streets, you will have no problem finding your way and even if you get lost in the numerous small lanes, sooner or later you will find a main street again... or a dead-end
Unleash your creativity and transform your space into a visual masterpiece!

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an alley in the souks of Essaouira, a small fortified port in western Morocco. Known as the jewel of the Atlantica, this town has been featured in popular films and TV shows such as Game of Thrones and Orson Welles' Othello. The Medina of Essaouira is a UNESCO World Heritage listed city, showcasing its late 18th-century fortified town design influenced by European colonists. The Frenchman Theodore Cornut, disciple of Vauban, played a crucial role in shaping the city's appearance with his construction of ramparts and straight, wide streets. As you enter the old Medina, you are immediately immersed in a vibrant atmosphere filled with animated crowds going about their daily activities. What sets this place apart is its lack of motor vehicles; instead, carts drawn by mules transport goods through its narrow lanes. Visitors are captivated by the sight of white-washed house walls adorned with blue doors and windows reminiscent of Mediterranean islands. Navigating through Essaouira is made easy thanks to its well-planned main streets that guide you even if you find yourself lost among numerous small lanes. This stunning print by Amaia Arozena & Gotzon Iraola perfectly encapsulates the charm and beauty found within Essaouira's bustling souks and historic alleys.
