La Citerne Portugaise

We visited this place while we were in El Jadid, Marocco (August, 2022). The attraction was close while we were there.

If you free time, you may visit this place. It is near the city center. The historical monuments have great building, but they need to do maintenance.

Historical moment that speaks to the El jadidan spirit. Need some clean up and restoration and it will be a mist stop for all Moroccans. If you visit jdida don't miss out on this place

Charming historical ambiance that take you back to a distinguished Era

Good calm panoramic one of the best historical monument I've ever seen in Morocco it was belt by the Portugal

I absolutely love the cistern! If you have Morrocan residence, there is a discounted rate. It is very small, but it is a nice photo opportunity, and a must see if you are in El Jadida.

Historic place that takes you back to the middle ages. Friendly community and pleasent people.

Beautiful place still under restoration.

This place is full of magic, it seams you walked into another dimension. so much peace and silence inside this place. Very beautiful, worth a visit!

Simply stunning. Yes, it's relatively small but atmosphere of this place is breathtaking. Admission 60 MAD for foreigners, 10 for Moroccans.

This is basically it. Costs 60dh to get in. Almost worth it because it's a one of a kind sight and you'll get amazing pictures like this.

Very interesting place to see, although a bit pricey for a single room.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, combining Portuguese and Moroccan histories. Really atmospheric, worth a visit and it's within the Fort. Makes a worthwhile stop on a walk and has a great photo opportunity.

An exciting moments travel in time

Beatiful construction and amazing for taking pictures in a sunny day

Very pretty space with minimal entry fee. Enjoy the old Portugese city, there are locals living inside today, plus tourist shops and cafes. It's cool inside, take a sweater with you. It's a short walk inside the walls, no vehicles allowed.

Nice old part of town. Great walk around.

best touristiques site in El Jadida, full of historical artifacts, great ancient architecture and free for access. 100% recommended

Interesting undercroft. The light play from the sun shining through the opening was magical. Interesting bit of history, which you can read about in the display room. Awesome fortress with massive walls.

It’s the other world inside :) mysterious and beautiful

Part of the Unesco World Heritage site since 2004, this place was built in 16th century as a warehouse, probably armory, and turn into underground water cistern later in 16th century. Place is filled with thin layer of water creates beautiful reflections – amazing place to photograph. Place is good escape from heat of summer, as its cool and humid. Probably the most famous place to visit in El Jadida, together with rampart walls. During our visit cistern was luminated also by natural light from the ceiling, via round oculus. This creating even better light conditions for photographing inside.
