Morocco, El-Jadida, La Cité Portugaise: the fortified city of Mazagan, founded by the Portuguese in 1502, was the last Portuguese possession on the Atlantic coast to fall to the Alaouites in 1769. The latter then built the adjacent new town of El-Jadida ("the new"). The vaulted cistern was built in 1514 as part of the original Portuguese citadel for use as a grain store or arsenal, but converted around 1541 to a water cistern, holding 5, 000 tonnes of water. The Manueline-style vaults are supported by 25 pillars. The cistern was used in the shooting of the film "Othello" by Orson Welles.
