Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church
Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption is a modest Catholic church in Essaouira dating from the French protectorate era, a quiet reminder of the port town's cosmopolitan trading history that once drew merchants and diplomats from across Europe and beyond. Its simple facade sits within the medina's tangle of narrow lanes, easy to walk past without noticing, yet a genuine piece of Essaouira's multi-faith past alongside its synagogues and mosques.
