Angel Bastion

An expression of Portuguese military architecture in the 16th century, the Angel Bastion is a remarkable example in El Jadida. Built as part of the fortifications erected by the Portuguese to protect themselves from enemy attacks, the clover-shaped Angel Bastion is distinguished by its imposing walls and angular bastions offering views of the surrounding countryside.

The bastion is located at the corner of the citadel overlooking the sea and the harbor. It served as an observation and defense post, strengthening the security of El Jadida as a maritime city. Visitors can stroll along its thick fortress walls and moat, a testament to the advanced fortification techniques used by Portuguese engineers at the time.

Today, the Angel's Bastion is an intriguing historical site that offers a fascinating glimpse into El Jadida's military past. Its commanding position offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and its surroundings, making it a popular destination for history buffs and tourists. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it represents a valuable tangible testament to the country's colonial era.
