Portuguese Cistern in El Jadida

Most famous monument of the Moroccan city of El Jadid. In 15th century Manueline style, there is a large square room that's 30x30m, its roof is formed by 36 arches that rest on 25 pillars. It's an impressive sight with its robustness and semipenunbra on which it is. The image of the vaults and columns that reflect off the water covering the floor is fantastic and unforgettable, more reminiscent of a place of meditation. They shot scenes from the film Othello by Orson Welles here.
