Azemmour, a historic town located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, has been a vital settlement since ancient times, known for its strategic position along the Oum Er-Rbia River. In the 16th century, it briefly came under Portuguese control, leaving a lasting mark on its architecture. The ferry depicted here symbolizes the town’s enduring relationship with the river, which has been central to its economy and daily life for centuries. The fortified walls in the background reflect Azemmour's historic role as a defensive stronghold and trading hub.
