El Jadida
The Portuguese Fortified City of Mazagan, built at the start of the 16th century and registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, anchors this Atlantic coast city south of Casablanca. The old city's sea walls, cistern, and Church of the Assumption — both in Manueline style — represent what UNESCO describes as an outstanding interchange between European and Moroccan cultures. El Jadida also sits amid vineyard country and draws both Moroccan and international visitors to its beaches and historic centre.
