Dana Leigh
English translation:Skala
Explanation:
(the bastion)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca
The Old Medina (the part of town pre-dating the French protectorate) attracts fewer tourists than the medinas of other Moroccan towns, such as Fes and Marrakech. However, it has undergone some restoration in recent years. Included in this project have been the western walls of the medina, its skala, or bastion, and its colonial-period clock tower.
