The Kasbah of Agadir Oufla is a historical landmark in Agadir, Morocco, that housed the old city of Agadir, much of which was affected by the earthquake that struck the city in 1960. The fort is located on the top of a mountain rising 236 meters above sea level in the north of the town of Agadir, near the current port.
