Essaouira — Skala de la Kasbah / Skala du Port (ramparts)

Essaouira, historically known as Mogador until the 1960s, is a port city on Morocco's Atlantic coast in the Marrakech-Safi region. The city's seafront includes named fortified ramparts and bastions commonly referred to in sources as the Skala de la Kasbah and the Skala du Port; these are visible in contemporary photographic archives and form a prominent part of Essaouira's historic urban fabric. The supplied materials document the city's name history, population, and visual presence of the ramparts but do not provide construction dates or detailed historical narratives tied to the fortifications. The specific topic of 'Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah's haunted ramparts' cannot be substantiated from the provided sources. None of the supplied references include descriptions of apparitions, sounds, physical effects, witness testimony, investigator reports, or folklore narratives connecting Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah or any named supernatural entity to the ramparts. While the ramparts are culturally notable (they appear in photographs and the city's name appears in musical track titles), there is no sourced material in the research notes that supports claims of paranormal activity at this site. Further research is recommended to explore local oral histories, folkloric compilations, historical records concerning Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah, and field investigations to determine whether any haunted-ramparts traditions exist beyond the current documentation.
