Church of the Assumption

Founded in the early 16th century by the Portuguese, this church bears witness to the European presence in the city of El Jadida. The church, with its wooden frame, is an impressive example of Portuguese religious architecture, blending local and European influences. El Jadida, perched on the Atlantic coast, has always been a cultural crossroads, home to diverse communities such as the Portuguese, Jews, and Muslims. The Church of the Assumption, with its remarkable architecture, illustrates this harmonious coexistence of the aforementioned populations. Its walls have seen the passage of time, from the days of Portuguese glory to periods of cultural transition after the city's capture by the Moroccans. Today, this monument is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of El Jadida's architectural heritage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The church continues to attract visitors, fascinated by its history and timeless beauty, while enriching the vibrant cultural landscape of this coastal city.
