The palace is linked to the founding of Essaouira (formerly Mogador) by Ahmed al-Mansour during the Saadian Dynasty in the 16th century. It is now fallen to ruins and is a real 'castle in the Sand'. During the 60's and 70's this was a popular spot where hippies would hang and dance around campfires. Jimi Hendrix would have been inspired by this ruins to write his famous song: "Castle in the sand."
