About this spot
The city walls of El Jadida, a coastal city in Morocco, are a striking testament to the rich history and diverse influences that have shaped the region. Built by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, these impressive fortifications were designed to protect the city and its inhabitants from potential invasions. The walls, constructed primarily from local stone and featuring a mix of European and Moroccan architectural styles, encircle the historic heart of the city, known as the Portuguese City of Mazagan. Today, the city walls, along with the bastions, gates, and the famed cistern within them, serve as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, drawing visitors from around the world who come to admire their remarkable craftsmanship and to immerse themselves in the unique blend of cultures that have left their mark on El Jadida.
