Views of Essaouira, Morocco
ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO - MAY 11 : A detail of a turret on the Ramparts on May 11, 2009 in Essaouira, Morocco. The Ramparts protected the Medina from invaders approaching across the wild Atlantic Ocean, and from the sea itself, seen here on a calm sunlit spring evening. Essaouira, on the windswept Atlantic coast of Morocco, was re-built in the 18th century by French architect Theodore Cornut to the orders of Sultan Ben Abdullah. Surrounded by ramparts it is a charming small town now becoming more popular with tourists. (Photo by Manuel Cohen)
