Restaurant
La Sqala
Bd des Almohades, Casablanca 20250
Cannon-lined coastal bastion turned garden restaurant overlooking the Atlantic port.
La Sqala in Casablanca opens with cannon fire on the fifth of August, then rewinds to 1769, when Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah raised this stone bastion to guard the harbor from pirates and rival navies. The guide follows it forward to July 1907, when tribesmen from the Chaouia countryside attacked a French rail crew laying track over sacred ground, and to the French warships that answered. Walk the ramparts today, past cannon barrels still aimed at the Atlantic, over what was once the fortress's parade ground.
