The Kasbah sqala, also known as the City sqala or Medina sqala, is an 18th-century artillery platform and one of the main fortifications in Essaouira, Morocco. It is located along the Atlantic Ocean, in the Kasbah.
The sqala of the Kasbah was built in 1765 by order of Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdellah, of the Alaouite dynasty.
She participated in the defense of the city during the bombardment of Mogador operated by France, as part of the Franco-Moroccan war.
It has been classified as a historical monument since the Dahir of August 30, 1924.
