El Jadida (Arabic: الجديدة, romanized: al-Jadīda, [alʒadiːda]; Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⵍⵊⴷⵉⴷⴰ, romanized: ljdida) is a major port city on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. It is located in the province of El Jadida, Casablanca-Settat, 96 kilometres (60 mi) south of the city of Casablanca. It has a population of 237,564 as of 2024.
The fortified city, built by the Portuguese at the beginning of the 16th century and named Mazagan (Mazagão in Portuguese), was given up by the Portuguese in 1769 and incorporated into Morocco. El Jadida's old city sea walls are one of the Seven Wonders of Portuguese Origin in the World.
The Portuguese Fortified City of Mazagan was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, on the basis of its status as an "outstanding example of the interchange of influences between European and Moroccan cultures" and as an "early example of the realisation of the Renaissance ideals integrated with Portuguese construction technology".
According to UNESCO, the most important buildings from the Portuguese period are the cistern and the Church of the Assumption, both in a Manueline style.
