Overview

Safi, under the name Safim (Zaffim or Asfi), is one of the oldest cities in Morocco, hence its foundation date is unknown. According to historian Mohammed al Kanuni, Safi must be identified with the ancient Thymiaterion or Carcunticus and was founded by the Carthaginian Hanno during this Periplus as related by Pliny the Elder.

Under the Almohads, it functioned as an important port to the capital Marrakesh.
