Ramparts of El Jadida
The UNESCO-listed Portuguese ramparts of El Jadida's Cité Portugaise on the Atlantic
A UNESCO-listed Portuguese fortified city — the Cité Portugaise — built in 1502 and still standing. The ramparts walk circles the old town with ocean views on three sides. The Church of the Assumption inside has been converted into a cultural space.
El Jadida is a half-day stop on our Atlantic coast route. The Portuguese city is compact enough to walk in an hour — but the cistern alone is worth the detour.
