Portuguese City of Mazagan (El Jadida) (UNESCO/NHK)
The Portuguese fortification of Mazagan, now part of the city of El Jadida, 90-km southwest of Casablanca, was built as a fortified colony on the Atlantic coast in the early 16th century. It was taken over by the Moroccans in 1769. The fortification with its bastions and ramparts is an early example of Renaissance military design. The surviving Portuguese buildings include the cistern and the Church of the Assumption, built in the Manueline ...

Citerne Portugaise in El-Jadida, Morocco
Citerne Portugaise in El-Jadida, Morocco is a large underground vaulted cisterne. A skylight illuminates the ceiling and beautiful columns and a film of water on the floor reflects the graceful arches. Once a receptacle for the town's water supply, the Cisterne Portugaise is now a very special tourist attraction in the old town of Cite Portugaise. Background music is Secret Conversations by The 126ers.

Cité Portugaise and El Jadida
El Jadida is located just south of Casablanca on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. In the early 1500s the Portuguese took control of the town and built a fortified medina called Mazagan called Cite Portugaise by the locals. Mazagan is noted by UNESCO as an outstanding example of the interchange of influences between European and Moroccan cultures and as an early example of the realization of the Renaissance ideals integrated with Portuguese construction technology. The ramparts are some of the most interesting in Morocco and are great fun for the local kids to jump off of. There are several other interesting sites within the walled medina including the five sided lighthouse (now the minaret of the grand mosque), the Church of the Assumption, the communal bakery and the impressive Portuguese Cistern which was used in George Orwell's film Othello.

The Amazing Castle Built by Portuguese In El Jadida Morocco
Portuguese Built Castle In El Jadida Morocco
During my stay in El Jadida for 5 nights with family , I have embarked on this wonderful little exotic city to show its finest tourist attraction sites. The castle. There are many clips showing the castle and what people do who visit this site attraction.
Portuguese is a Western Romance language originating in the Iberian Peninsula. It is the sole official language of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, and São Tomé and Príncipe. It also has co-official language status in East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Macau in China.
There are many interesting facts of the castle where in each fact there is explanation of the idea behind it.

A beautiful Portuguese City inside Morocco culture
EL JADIDA CITY | VERY BEAUTIFUL BEACHES
El Jadida (Berber: Maziɣen, ⵎⴰⵣⵉⵗⴻⵏ, Arabic: الجديدة or مازيغن, Portuguese: Mazagão) is a port city on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, located 106 km south of the city of Casablanca in the region of Doukkala-Abda and the province of El Jadida. It has a population of 194,934 (2014 census).[1] From the sea, El Jadida's old city has a very un-Moorish appearance; it has massive Portuguese walls of hewn sto
Manueline cistern of the El Jadida fortress.
Ramparts of El Jadida
The Portuguese Fortified City of Mazagan was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, on the basis of its status as an outstanding example of the interchange of influences between European and Moroccan cultures and as an early example of the realisation of the Renaissance ideals integrated with Portuguese construction technology. According to UNESCO,[3] the most important buildings from the Portuguese period are the cistern, and the Manueline Church of the Assumption.
The city, and particularly its neighboring town of Sidi Bouzid, becomes extremely busy in the summer season with an influx of mainly Moroccan holiday-makers. Nearby is the five-star resort complex of Mazagan, which attracts the Moroccan elite as well as many international visitors from the Persian Gulf as well as from Europe and beyond. Mazagan has a golf course designed by Gary Player, casino, nightclub and restaurants. Between Mazagan and El Jadida is the Pullman Hotel, attached to which is Royal Golf El Jadida, another 18-hole course. The presence of nearby ports and factories is responsible for the pollution of El Jadida's beaches.
At present, the city's main exports are beans, almonds, maize, chickpeas, wool, hides, wax and eggs. It imports cotton, sugar, tea and rice. The city is expanding as of 2014, partly as a result of increased activity at the nearby Jorf Lasfar port and industrial area.

Imagens de lugares ligados à presença histórica de Portugal em Marrocos, colhidas numa viagem a este país em Outubro e Novembro de 2014 : Ksar Seghir (Alcácer-Ceguer), Tânger, Asilah (Arzila), Larache, Ksar El Kebir (Alcácer-Quibir), Suaken (aldeia situada no local da Batalha de Alcácer-Quibir), Azemmour (Azamor), El Jadida (Mazagão) e Essaouira (Mogador).
Alcácer-Ceguer foi conquistada por D. Afonso V em 1458 e abandonada por D. João III em 1549. Restam ruínas que constituem hoje um campo arqueológico.
Tânger, depois da tentativa desastrosa de 1437, de que resultou a prisão e morte em Fez do infante D. Fernando, foi ocupada por D. Afonso V quando os respectivos habitantes a abandonaram, cinco dias após a conquista de Arzila, em 24 de Agosto de 1471. Tânger manteve-se na posse de Portugal até 1661, ano em que foi entregue à coroa britânica como parte do dote do casamento de D. Catarina de Bragança com Carlos II de Inglaterra.
Arzila foi abandonada por D. João III em 1549 e reconquistada por D. Sebastião em 1571, vindo a ser definitivamente abandonada na época filipina.
Em Tânger e Arzila observam-se vários vestígios da presença portuguesa nas fortificações existentes. Em Arzila, é de destacar a torre de menagem manuelina, restaurada na última década do século XX com o patrocínio da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.
Em Larache, que esteve sob jurisdição portuguesa quando ainda não era povoada, nos reinados de D. Afonso V e D. João II, existe um castelo português, assim designado pelos marroquinos, cuja construção é na realidade da responsabilidade do sultão saadiano que dominava a região na segunda metade do século XVI. Trata-se do Castelo de Laqbibat (das Pequenas Cúpulas), que terá sido projectado por um engenheiro italiano que trabalhava para o rei português e que terá ficado aprisionado em Alcácer-Quibir em 4 de Agosto de 1578. A maior parte dos que trabalharam na sua construção terão sido prisioneiros portugueses da Batalha de Alcácer-Quibir.
A D. Manuel I se devem as conquistas de Azamor (1513), Mazagão (1514), Safim (1508) e Mogador (1506).
Se nesta última, que foi abandonada em 1510, pouco resta do Castelo Real que lá foi construído, as outras três contêm, juntamente com Arzila, o que de melhor existe na arquitectura portuguesa em Marrocos.
Em Azamor trabalharam os irmãos Francisco e Diogo de Arruda, arquitectos da Torre de Belém e do Convento de Cristo em Tomar, respectivamente.
Em Mazagão, cidade portuguesa que está classificada como Património Universal pela UNESCO, existe uma obra-prima arquitectónica (a Cisterna Portuguesa), da responsabilidade de João de Castilho, que também trabalhou em Tomar, no Convento de Cristo e na Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, para além de Lisboa (Jerónimos), Alcobaça, Batalha, etc. Nesta cisterna Orson Welles filmou algumas cenas do seu filme Otelo. Outras cenas foram filmadas em Essaouira (Mogador).
Em Safim, é de destacar, além das muralhas, o Castelo do Mar, com elementos do estilo manuelino. O mesmo estilo está patente no Castelo da Terra e na catedral portuguesa, que não constam neste vídeo. Também não constam imagens das ruínas da fortaleza de Aguz, situada junto ao mar entre Safim e Essaouira.
Safim e Azamor foram abandonadas por D. João III em 1541.
Mazagão viria a ser a última das possessões portuguesas em Marrocos. Em 1769, o Marquês de Pombal, na sequência de um cerco muçulmano, ordenou o seu abandono, tendo a população sido transferida para o Brasil, onde foi fundada a Nova Mazagão.

Nota:
A legenda do local onde , segundo a lenda, D.Sebastião se encostou antes de se perder na batalha (informação prestada pela população local) está sobre a imagem de uma construção em pedra que, segundo alguns autores (Cf. Fernando Dacosta, Viagens Pagãs, 2015), é um obelisco aí colocado por estudantes de Coimbra. Frederico Mendes Paula é mais preciso e afirma que se trata de vestígios do Memorial ali colocado em 1939 por um grupo de universitários de Coimbra, posteriormente destruído por patriotas marroquinos.( )
Sights of El-Jadida Morocco. Historic beach town on Atlantic
3 hours south of Casablanca, El-Jadida is quiet but modern small city located with beaches on the Atlantic Coast. The Portuguese in the early 1500’s developed a fortress and built up Bastion de l’Ange to protect their trade interests. It stood in place for about 250 years and then became a Sultan’s control. Come visit the fortress and the famous 500 year old cistern where water was stored below ground. Getting hungry we visit a local workers restaurant and eat a soupy and spicy dish with yummy bread. We decided to explore a little and crashed the gates as ‘pretend guests’ at the Magazan hotel, a 5-star hotel near El-Jadida. We walked around the luxurious property wishing we were guests.
