00:03:07the traveler Ibn
00:03:08Battuta called it.
00:03:12The roots of this city are deeply embedded in history. It has been mentioned
00:03:15in history books with pride and honor, while
00:03:19research and discoveries have confirmed
00:03:21that ancient humans inhabited it thousands of years ago, and the origin of humanity
00:03:27Salih, may be from Africa, specifically from Safi.
00:03:30Therefore, if I were not from Safi, I would wish to be

00:03:37A history of heritage carried by the city's ancient landmarks,
00:03:40which are considered among the oldest Moroccan
00:03:43cities. It is an archaeological museum that tells
00:03:46generations how civilizations competed for
00:03:50one of the most prominent historical landmarks in Safi. The Amazigh have a
00:03:54prominent and ancient presence, and the Arab Islamic
00:03:58imprints have marked the city
00:04:00and its people.
00:04:05There, the call to pilgrimage to the House of God was made, and there the Great
00:04:09Mosque was built. There, Uqba ibn Nafi al-Fihri set
00:04:12foot, where he stood on its shore and made his martyr's
00:04:16prayer.
00:04:24People spoke of Safi, which was
00:04:27a major hub in trade and industry.
00:04:30It connected Morocco to Africa through the manufacture and export of carpets
00:04:34and woolen blankets
00:04:35and horses.
00:04:39renovations and changes in its original Today, after a short tour of the city, you will find
00:04:42many historical monuments that have turned into ruins due to
00:04:46severe neglect, and they call for the revival of that tangible
00:04:50and intangible heritage that constitutes a true treasure in
00:04:53the history of nations that draw from their ancient history
00:04:57there. The military architectural to build on the foundations of the city present and future.
00:05:38The history of Safi dates back thousands of years. It was a Canaanite
00:05:42settlement established by the Carthaginians,
00:05:45followed by the Romans and the Goths, then the Muslim
00:05:49Arabs. There, Uqba ibn Nafi settled
00:05:52and prayed, "Oh God, Lord of Muhammad, if I did not
00:05:57beyond this sea, I would have plunged into this surging abyss
00:06:01to spread the glory of your great name to the farthest reaches of
00:06:05the world."
00:06:07In the annals of history, Safi was mentioned, and its glory was written in letters
00:06:11of gold in the "Dictionary of Countries" by Yaqut al-Hamawi and in
00:06:15the memoirs of the famous traveler
00:06:16Ibn Battuta.
00:06:20As for the name, the historian Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz bin
00:06:23Muhammad al-Bakri said that it is derived from the Amazigh
00:06:26word "Asi," which means "water source."
00:06:29Temporary.
00:06:35The jurist al-Kalouni said that Safi means
00:06:39"light," which is the light, and in Safi, it is the lighthouse
00:06:43or the lamp that used to illuminate the shore for ancient
00:06:46ships from all
00:06:47directions.
00:06:51Safi, the radiant and illuminated, attracted the greed of invaders,
00:06:55and the Portuguese occupation in
00:06:581508, which would be a significant
00:07:02turning point in the history of this coastal city,
00:07:05similar to what this colonizer left
00:07:09in Azemmour, El Jadida, and Essaouira.
00:07:18The Portuguese seized Safi with great difficulty,
00:07:22as the city was besieged for three
00:07:24years after it was forced to pay tribute to the King of Portugal,
00:07:27Manuel I, at that time.
00:07:40When the Portuguese authorities entered Safi as colonizers
00:07:44in 1508, they found a Almohad
00:07:47fortress built in Safi. They then
00:07:49built this second fortress and named it Castilho Novo, a new
00:07:53fortress, meaning compared
00:07:56Moroccan fortress. The Portuguese authorities exploited this
00:08:01and imposed political protection
00:08:05on the ruler of the city of Safi in
00:08:081479 AD, and
00:08:12in this agreement between the King of Portugal
00:08:15and the ruler of Safi, he was forced to give
00:08:19land adjacent to the port that is near
00:08:22us now, with the aim of establishing a commercial agency called
00:08:25Feitoria in Portuguese. This Feitoria was the nucleus
00:08:29that later gave rise to Qasr
00:08:31Al Bahr (Sea Castle). After the colonizer entered
00:08:35and appointed a ruler over it to govern in the name of the King
00:08:38of Portugal, the features of the city built by the
00:08:41ancients changed. From those who succeeded them, especially
00:08:45during the era of prosperity that was during the rule of the Saadians in the eleventh
00:08:49Hijri century.
00:08:51With the arrival of those who came from Lisbon, the search began for a garrison
00:08:55that would provide security and safety for those who came from the shores of the Mediterranean.
00:08:59It was Qasr Al Bahr, which is considered
00:09:02the city, and it is located along Independence
00:09:05Square.
00:09:07As for this building, it is
00:09:11a square tower with some
00:09:14levels. The ground level is designated
00:09:18for storing provisions. The first
00:09:21level is the headquarters of the military command of the fortress, and on the third
00:09:24level, it is the level for
00:09:28guards and soldiers. As for the other two towers, there is a land
00:09:32tower to my left, and there is a sea tower to my right.
00:09:35On the roof, we find battlements where
00:09:38soldiers hide to shoot arrows.
00:09:53According to Portuguese military engineering,
00:09:57Qasr al-Bahr was built to form a small Portuguese
00:10:00fortress, and the governor, in the name of the King
00:10:03of Portugal, resided
00:10:09features in its construction are clear to the eye.
00:10:13The construction of this architectural edifice took more than eight
00:10:17years, and its area is approximately
00:10:203900 square meters,
00:10:23rising above four towers,
00:10:27overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to protect
00:10:30the city from any potential aggression.
00:10:33Within its walls,
00:10:37for grain and weapons,
00:10:41and a large cistern that was used to store
00:10:43water.
00:10:45Military fortifications dominated the architecture of the place, which
00:10:49was designed according to a military engineering style, without neglecting
00:10:53the commercial aspect, as
00:10:56the beach near the city's
00:10:57port.
00:11:04heritage of Safi will disappear
00:11:10to Qasr al-Bahr due to the movement of
00:11:13waves, which was a result of the construction
00:11:17of the port of Safi, which
00:11:20affected, according to technical testimony in this matter,
00:11:23it is the reason for
00:11:26the deterioration of the coastal line of the Oumoumi cliff, which includes
00:11:29very important heritage structures, such as Qasr
00:11:32al-Bahr. Unfortunately, the Skala neighborhood, where we are standing
00:11:36now, which used to extend along this corniche,
00:11:39has disappeared. It's gone due to the erosion
00:11:43of the sea cliff, as well as due to the
00:11:47neglect that these heritage
00:11:54This place, classified by the Moroccan government
00:11:58in 1992
00:12:00as a national architectural
00:12:03from erosion. This living memory
00:12:07of human civilization, which bears witness to a shared history
00:12:10between Spain and Portugal, has begun to disappear due to
00:12:14the waves caused by the port of Safi.
00:12:18What applies to Qasr al-Bahr applies to other archaeological
00:12:21sites that have suffered due to neglect, and a large part
00:12:25of them has transformed due to various natural and human factors
00:12:28into a trace after an eye.
00:12:32This has made those who care about the heritage of this precious city
00:12:36sound the alarm.
00:12:37Talking about the heritage of Safi
00:12:43and its region leads us
00:12:46to talk about the multiple and rich
00:12:49components of this heritage, which primarily form
00:12:53Also, the tangible and intangible heritage, there are many
00:12:57diverse and rich
00:13:00components. Regarding cultural
00:13:04heritage, there is the city of Safi with its walls, its gates,
00:13:07its shrines, and its
00:13:11zawiyas. There are many components of this heritage, like
00:13:14Qasr al-Bahr, and like the Portuguese
00:13:17Cathedral, and like the important houses
00:13:21and riads which are the result of a
00:13:26great historical process that Safi
00:13:27witnessed.
00:13:33The beauty of this architectural design of Qasr al-Bahr is threatened
00:13:37with extinction.
00:13:40This architectural masterpiece, as it appeals to the supervising
00:13:43authorities, tells them about a Safi heritage that begins with Qasr
00:13:47al-Bahr and does not end there. Many
00:13:50archaeological sites suffer from neglect, which has been added to
00:13:53the vicissitudes of time and its waves. The mighty ocean.
00:14:09One of the most prominent historical landmarks in Safi is Dar As-Sultan (Sultan's House), the Upper
00:14:13Citadel, or Dar
00:14:14El Qishla.
00:14:20It was built on a high plateau overlooking the old
00:14:23city, which is a protected
00:14:25and ancient monument built in the Almohad era to protect
00:14:28the city from invaders, intruders, and thieves.
00:14:53This monument is known as
00:15:00It has undergone a series of
00:15:04structures throughout the ages, whether administrative or
00:15:08military civilian. It is an architectural
00:15:10masterpiece that blends Portuguese military
00:15:14architectural heritage, Moroccan Islamic
00:15:17architectural heritage, and French heritage.
00:15:20It is therefore a witness to the succession
00:15:23of several civilizations and reflects the cultural convergence that characterized
00:15:26the city
00:15:27of Safi.
00:15:31The house overlooks from the beautiful side the potters'
00:15:33hill, which is also an archaeological monument.
00:15:55In this
00:15:55region,
00:16:01Dar al-Sultan was named during the Almohad state,
00:16:03and it was called "Arab" during the French colonization, as
00:16:16well as Portuguese and even
00:16:17French.
00:16:26The Portuguese, of course, occupied the city of Safi
00:16:29for almost 32
00:16:32years. They made
00:16:35changes at the city level,
00:16:39the most important of which was the reconstruction of the Almohad
00:16:42kasbah, so that its architectural style was changed
00:16:46due to the appearance of new weapons, the most important of which were gunpowder
00:16:50and cannons, so that strong and sturdy
00:16:53towers were built that could
00:16:55withstand all
00:17:01edifice was built with Portuguese military
00:17:04engineering, like the rest of the garrison.
00:17:37The historical bronze and iron
00:17:41cannons of different
00:17:44sizes, which were used with iron
00:17:47balls of different diameters.
00:17:51These iron
00:17:54and bronze cannons date back to the Portuguese and Saadian
00:17:58periods.
00:18:00The history of Dar al-Qasbah, through the discovery of its military roles, dates back to the
00:18:04Marinid state, and when the Portuguese arrived,
00:18:08Dar al-Qasbah witnessed a series of changes,
00:18:13this impregnable fortress on the ruins of the kasbah and named it Qishla,
00:18:18Portuguese word "castelo." The changes
00:18:21included the construction of a new wall with stones and the erection
00:18:25of a tower topped with bronze cannons, which replaced
00:18:28the Dutch cannons that Mawlay Zidan An-Nasir and his son
00:18:32Mawlay Al-Yazid ordered to be brought during the Saadian rule
00:18:35of Morocco.
00:18:40These bronze and iron cannons
00:18:43have different sizes and use iron balls,
00:18:46and they were used as advanced war machines
00:18:49that defended the city. Today, the cannons
00:18:53give the place prestige with their historical
00:18:56significance, reflecting the power of the Moroccan state in different
00:19:00eras and the partnerships it had with
00:19:03countries like Holland, which manufactured these cannons,
00:19:07which still adorn the entrances and towers of the citadel.
00:19:24During the 18th century, Dar
00:19:27El Bahia was built as a private residence
00:19:30for Sultan Muhammad bin Abd Allah and his son,
00:19:34Sultan Hisham bin Abd Allah. This house
00:19:37represented a model of Islamic
00:19:41Moroccan architecture
00:19:44and consisted of two rooms, one
00:19:48private and the other for reception,
00:19:51in addition to
00:19:53and a private
00:19:57kitchen. Far from the period of Portuguese colonialism, Dar
00:20:00as-Sultan in the 18th century, under the rule of the honorable Alawite
00:20:04state, witnessed increased attention, as Abdul
00:20:13Rahman bin Nasser al-Abdi built a special wing in it, which he named Dar al-Bahia, and Prince Muhammad bin Abd Allah, whom
00:20:16the tribes of Hawz pledged allegiance
00:20:20to, frequented it. The kings of the honorable Alawite state also used
00:20:22the house as a residence, in addition to those that were located
00:20:26in Marrakech.
00:20:31During the French Protectorate, this monument was converted
00:20:34into a civilian control headquarters.
00:20:37After adding a set of facilities,
00:20:40offices of the civilian controller, a court,
00:20:44a prison, and a set of other facilities,
00:20:48and it witnessed renovations. The girls of
00:20:51it, and after independence, a group of administrations
00:20:55successively utilized this monument, including
00:20:59the Safi provincial government, and
00:21:02it also served as the headquarters for the National
00:21:05Ceramics Museum.
00:21:10Talking about ceramics leads directly to talking
00:21:14about Safi, as it is the cradle of this traditional
00:21:16industry that contributes to three sectors. It
00:21:20is a source of attraction for tourism.
00:21:22Pottery
00:21:28making in Morocco is one of the oldest handicrafts,
00:21:30as it skillfully blends Amazigh
00:21:34and Maghrebi
00:21:35heritage.
00:21:40And it still serves today as a link between the past and the present,
00:21:44and Safi is considered
00:21:47activity of the people of the region, and an important
00:21:50cultural
00:21:51heritage.
00:21:56where hundreds work in this handicraft continuously,
00:22:00in addition to dozens of seasonal
00:22:02workers.
00:22:07This industry is concentrated in the Chouaba neighborhood, near
00:22:10the valley, which was established to respect
00:22:16this activity.
00:22:18The Pottery Hill also has a large number of workshops dedicated
00:22:22to pottery, and it is considered one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city.
00:22:52During the Portuguese period,
00:22:55the city of Safi was a major
00:22:59Portuguese hub. It played an important
00:23:03role and had a prominent position in Portuguese
00:23:06trade with other African countries,
00:23:09as the Portuguese made it a center
00:23:12for manufacturing carpets and woolen
00:23:15blankets, by order of the Portuguese. This carpet
00:23:20or woolen blanket was one of the basic materials in trade,
00:23:24along with grain and horses.
00:23:27The Portuguese colonization
00:23:29revitalized
00:23:33trade in Safi because the city
00:23:37had the ingredients
00:23:39for success. Throughout history, it was an important
00:23:43station in international trade. During
00:23:46the Almohad era, Safi became a commercial port
00:23:54Andalusia, and it was also a witness to the revival
00:23:57of the Portuguese economy through trade with
00:24:00Africa, relying on a legacy left by the
00:24:04Almohad
00:24:04state.
00:24:10Away from trade, Taswi was famous during that period
00:24:13for the personality of Imam Abu Muhammad
00:24:17this mystic who revived the pilgrimage when
00:24:21the scholars of Andalusia dropped it for several reasons, including the Crusades
00:24:25During
00:24:28the Almohad era, Safi was famous
00:24:32for the personality of Sheikh Abu Muhammad Salih,
00:24:35the Imam or the mystic.
00:24:38He was the first founder of the pilgrimage caravan and the first to revive
00:24:42the pilgrimage at a time
00:24:45when the scholars of the West and the scholars of Andalusia dropped
00:24:49the pilgrimage. The Islamic West,
00:24:51to avoid the dangers that
00:24:55surrounded the journey of pilgrims, as they were exposed to attacks
00:24:58by highwaymen and at sea they were exposed to captivity by
00:25:02Christian pirates, especially since the Libyan
00:25:05wars had broken out in the East. This fatwa
00:25:08of dropping the pilgrimage in the Islamic West remained
00:25:12in effect for many years until
00:25:15Sheikh Abu Muhammad Salih abolished it.
00:25:21Not far from the Safi Corniche is the Zawiya of the scholar
00:25:25and Sheikh Sidi Abu Muhammad Salih
00:25:27Al-Madi, to bear witness to a rich and
00:25:31prosperous history.
00:25:34In this narrow alley in the old city, the Zawiya overlooks us,
00:25:38and not
00:25:41far from it is the mosque that was named
00:25:43after him.
00:25:49In honor of his pure spirit, here is the Zawiya
00:25:52as a gateway to Islamic civilization, with its elegant
00:25:55architectural style and its ancient history
00:25:58that takes you on a journey through time.
00:26:06where he called people to pilgrimage and commanded them to perform
00:26:09this obligation, and even named
00:26:12his disciples or companions
00:26:14"Hajjis." He facilitated
00:26:18people through the many
00:26:21ribats and zawiyas he established from
00:26:25Morocco to Hijaz. He established them
00:26:27in Egypt, in Moroccan cities, in Egypt, in Lebanon,
00:26:31Syria, Hijaz, all the way to Mecca.
00:26:35And these ribats
00:26:38used to appoint at the head of each zawiya or ribat
00:26:42a muqaddam
00:26:43for the pilgrims.
00:26:47The silence that fills the place
00:26:50of a seagull coming from its shore in the ocean.
00:26:54The Zawiya of Sheikh Abu Muhammad Salih tells people about
00:26:57a Moroccan imam whose reputation was not limited
00:27:01to Andalusia
00:27:02and Morocco,
00:27:05but reached the East, and there, his disciples, whom he called
00:27:09"Hajjis," established ribats and zawiyas from
00:27:13Morocco to Hijaz, through Egypt and Syria,
00:27:15all the way to Mecca.
00:27:17So
00:27:23this Imam received the position he deserved.
00:27:26Other Zawiyas in Safi for great scholars
00:27:29who shaped the city's history, so they deserve it,
00:27:33such as the Darqawiya Zawiya, the Ribat of Sheikh Shaker, and the Tijaniyya
00:27:37Zawiya, and the list goes on.
00:27:50We have 13 zawiyas in the city of
00:27:53Safi, most of which today
00:27:56are in a very dilapidated condition,
00:27:59whether as a building
00:28:02or as an architectural
