Visit the Portuguese Cistern
Visit the famous underground cistern, a vaulted Portuguese-era chamber known for its mirror-like reflections.
About This Activity
The Portuguese Cistern is one of the most atmospheric monuments in El Jadida. Set beneath the fortified city, the vaulted chamber is known for its shallow reflective water, which turns the arches and columns into a near-perfect mirror. Travel sources report a small entrance fee of around 10 MAD, though fees should be checked locally before visiting. The site is closely associated with the visual history of Mazagan and is often linked by guides to Orson Welles’s Othello.
