The Medina of Essaouira forms a single large historical ensemble. It notably brings together the sectors of Bab Sbaa, Bab Marrakech, Bab Doukkala, Chbanat, Kasbah and Mellah: these names describe doors or internal sectors, not six independent real estate districts.
The Kasbah is the historic administrative core of the Medina of Essaouira. Its orderly streets, its old houses and its proximity to the ramparts require a precise reading of each building.
The Mellah is a major historic sector of the Medina of Essaouira, linked to the Jewish memory of Mogador. Its heritage and the variable state of the buildings require a particularly cautious real estate approach.
