This 15th Century kasbah -- which means a fortified palace - is secluded in a palm grove near Skoura. The most beautiful kasbahs in Southern Morocco are here, and this is considered to be the most imposing of them all. I abstract the building by zooming in on it. Rather than showing the entire series of towers and façades, such as we might see on a post card, I choose to show only a series of windows, part of one tower, and the intricate embellishments that best define these ancient adobe kasbahs. In doing this, I stress the characteristics that best define the character of the building. The warmth of the strong evening light is a bonus.
