A fortified complex of rammed earth and mud brick, listed as national heritage in 1954. Oral tradition attributes its first construction to the Imzwarn family in the 17th century; the Glaoui expanded it in the 19th. Sold to the municipality in 1972, the kasbah has been conserved since the late 1980s by CERKAS, with UNESCO support in the 1990s and the Getty Conservation Institute since 2011. It is the festival's main performance venue.
