Kasbah des Oudaya - Rabat
An altogether modern city and the official capital of Morocco. Rabat is a contrast of styles and is more Mediterranean than the other cities in Morocco, with narrow alleyways and white houses (half of the house painted in blue).

The Kasbah stands on the south bank of the Bou Regreg estuary. It was named after a garrison of mercenaries from the Oudaļa tribe that was set up in Rabat. The Oudaļas, Arab in origin, arrived in Morocco in the 13th century.

A kasbah (Arabic: "القصبة") or Qassabah is a type of medina, Islamic city, or fortress.
It was a place for the local leader to live and as a defense when the city was under attack. A kasbah has high walls which usually have no windows. Sometimes, they were built on the top of hill to make them easier to defend. Some of them were also placed near the entrance of harbors.

Hi Tsilla,
How I like this photo!
It looks like a painting with its bright colors against the white facade! I like the intensity if the light enhancing the contrast with orange and blue colors. Very good rendering of the textures and the alive mediterranean mood.
Very nicely done! Annie

Hi Tsilla
wonderful door and typical arab style
good moody and light
ciao

Hello Tsilla,

This is lovely.
The colours are strong and vibrant, the off-centre focal point is well placed and there are many engaging details.
It has the feeling of a painting rather than a photograph.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

love the bright colours and very interesting looking door that you find here, Tsilla.. well seen and taken..

regards, terry

Hi Tsilla!
