Portuguese Fortified city of Mazagan, El Jadida

Doorway to the Grand Mosque, 19th century, El Jadida, Morocco. El Jadida, previously known as Mazagan (Portuguese: Mazaga£o), was seized in 1502 by the Portuguese, and they controlled this city until 1769. As the mosque's minaret (visible in the background) is a converted lighthouse, El Jadida is claimed to home the world's only pentagonal minaret. Picture by Manuel Cohen
