Assilah Medina Art
In a refreshing take on graffiti, large expanses of walls in Assilah medina are adorned
with colourful murals. In July every year, artists both local and foreign are invited to
contribute to the Assilah Festival ( Click here ) by painting the walls. Some murals, like those
near the El-Khamra Tower or the lookout at the Koubba of Sidi Mansur, are huge. But you might
turn a corner of the medina and spot a small corner down an alleyway that’s been brightly
decorated.
