Kasbah des Oudaļas
An airy 'village within the city', the Kasbah is a pleasant
place to take a stroll to admire some interesting architecture and
see some sights. The Kasbah was the Alhomad citadel of medieval
Rabat, and is guarded by an impressive arched gate built around
1195. Inside the Kasbah is the palace and Andalucian gardens, as
well as a broad terrace, which gives beautiful views of the river
and sea close to the city's oldest mosque, the Kasbah Mosque,
founded in 1050. Below the terrace are several fortifications with
gun emplacements guarding the estuary, and even further below is a
beach, usually crowded with local people.
