Agadir Earthquake of 1960:
This is the site of a hilltop observation area overlooking the port of Agadir. At 11:41 PM, on February, 29 1960, the town was shaken by a magnitude 5.7 earthquake where tens of thousands of people perished, buried under the rubble of ancient masonry buildings. In honor of the people who died, the slope to the southwest, toward the port, was never redeveloped. See the link below: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/world/events/1960_02_29...
