Capital of the prosperous province of the same name, it is above all known from a tourist point of view for its remarkable "Portuguese city". Listed as a UNESCO heritage site, the fortifications of the Portuguese city with their bastions and ramparts were the setting for the filming of many scenes from the film "Othello" which Orson Welles shot largely in Morocco.
