The Fall of Agadir refers to the catastrophic earthquake that struck on February 29, 1960, leveling much of the city and claiming thousands of lives. Today, the site serves as a poignant memorial, with preserved ruins and a museum that documents the disaster and the city's subsequent reconstruction. Visitors can see the remnants of buildings, including the old Kasbah, and learn about the event through photographs and artifacts. It's a sobering but important experience that highlights Agadir's resilience and transformation into a modern resort.
