Mazagao, El Jadida

Thanks for your comments

It is beautiful in here. I did not know that Moracco was such a place. Is this not the place of Princess Grace?

... dramatic and mysterious. I particularly like the light in the center, is it from a dome?

Morocco, not Monaco.

Morocco is a country in North Africa. Corner of Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean see. Muslim Country.

In the 16th century, when Portuguese began they big Discoveries, they established fortresses along the African costs. This was the guard room of one of these fortresses. Later they use it as cistern to keep drinkable water to resist to the invaders.

 

The place was forgotten during a long time, till a Moroccan shop owner willing to expand his shop found it surprisingly.

Just a hole, if I remember well.

Thank you. I know this; why did I ask? I am just stupid,

Of course, I know you know, but sometimes people are absent minded. If you wish you can edit your comment and i'll edit mine to erase this part.
