What to expect
Modern-day Asilah dates back to the ancient Phoenician port of Zilis, which was founded around 1500 BC and located a few kilometers northeast of the present settlement. Much of Asilah’s medina was built under Arab Muslim rule between the 8th and 10th centuries AD. The dramatic ramparts that surround it, however, were built by the Portuguese, who conquered the town in 1471. The Portuguese maintained control of Asilah until 1589, when it briefly returned to Moroccan rule before being taken over by the Spanish.
In the 17th century Moroccans won control of the town again and in the 18th and 19th centuries it became a notorious base for pirates. This led to widespread bombardment by the Austrians in 1829 and from 1912 to 1956, Asilah was once more part of Spanish Morocco. Today it has regained its independence but its colonial past is reflected in the distinctly Iberian flavor of its cuisine and culture.
