EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Safi, Morocco captures the rich history and strategic significance of this ancient seaport. Dating back to the 16th century, Safi was once home to a formidable Portuguese fortress, serving as a key stronghold in the region. The remnants of this historical landmark still stand tall, bearing witness to centuries of maritime trade and military conquests.
Known also by its Arabic name Tzaffin, Safi has played a pivotal role in shaping the course of Moroccan history. Its location southwest of Casablanca made it an ideal landing site for Allied forces during World War II in 1942. This port city has seen empires rise and fall, each leaving their mark on its shores.
The image captured by Rights Managed is a testament to Safi's enduring legacy as a hub of commerce and culture. The intricate details of the architecture and bustling activity along the waterfront transport viewers back in time to an era when ships from distant lands would dock at its quays.
As you gaze upon this print, let yourself be transported to a place where past meets present, where stories of conquest and trade echo through the narrow streets and ancient walls of Safi. Explore the layers of history woven into every stone, every wave that crashes against its shores.
