Place Moulay Hassan Essaouira is one of the most beautiful square in the city. Located between the port and the entrance to the Medina, it offers sea views from one of the many cafes and restaurants in the surrounding areas.
In the evening families and friends gather for walks and children can be seen playing and chasing the pigeons and cats. The square also hosts the largest outdoor gathering in Essaouira, the GnaouaFestival, where internationally renowned artists gather every year.
