A general view of a turret on the Ramparts and the Medina on May 11, 2009 in Essaouira, Morocco. The Ramparts, seen on a calm sunlit spring evening, protected the Medina from invaders approaching across the wild Atlantic Ocean, and from the sea itself. A boy is walking on the rocks below the Ramparts. Essaouira, on the windswept Atlantic coast of Morocco, was re-built in the 18th century by French architect Theodore Cornut to the orders of Sultan Ben Abdullah. Surrounded by ramparts it is a charming small town now becoming more popular with tourists.
