This is the b&w version of the "Portuguese Cistern of El Jadida", the photograph I posted yesterday. I think this was the best photographic moment I had during this trip. It seems that I want to enjoy it as much as possible. :)

I am going to post some photographs of Morocco. This is a country Portuguese people visit very frequently, because it is close and also because of historic reasons. Portugal started to occupy parts of coastal Morocco since 1415. There are still signs of Portuguese occupation. For this particular post, I chose a place known as the Cistern, part of a fortress, both built by the Portuguese, therefore called the Portuese City. It has several items of interest including ramparts, Christian churches, and a synagogue. But the gem of this jewel box is the atmospheric cistern, used by Orson Welles in his version of Othello.

I visited this country for the first time last week and I loved it. I hope you will enjoy these photographs as well.
