I have read that most of the cannons in that fort are Spanish, but one is left from the Portuguese. I remember hearing about the earthquake, when i was a boy. |

Sorry modern name is Essouria. Agadir was leveled by a earthquake back a few years ago as you mentioned. Modern town now of zero interest. Nothing of historic interest remains there

Here is the Portuguese cannon at Essouria.
I caught these pictures and i know of its existence, through a blog of a Biker that usually travels down there. |
