1 ére partie:portuguese city of mazagan(eljadida) unsco world-heritage center

		The Portuguese fortification of Mazagan, which now is part of the city of El Jadida, lies only 90 kilometres south-west of Casablanca, in a region of the Moroccan coastline that still is largely unknown to the large number of European tourists travelling to Morocco.
		The Portuguese City of Mazagan further is one of the earliest settlements of the Portuguese explorers in West Africa on the route to India and marked the beginning of Portugal's overseas empire.
		According to UNESCO, Mazagan due to its rich history has become "an outstanding example of the interchange of influences between European and Moroccan cultures, well reflected in architecture, technology, and town planning." This was a major reason for adding the Portuguese city of Mazagan to the list of World Heritage sites.

		In preserving Mazagan the Portuguese wished to retain a base on the coast to guarantee the protection of the Indies route.

		Budgett Meakin, writing in the 1890s, found an "extensive native settlement of beehive huts, or nouallahs " spreading back from the harbour, while European merchants had re-established themselves in the "clean, prosperous and well-lighted streets" of the Medina.
		As in all the open ports on this coast, there was also an important Jewish community handling the trade with Marrakesh; uniquely, old Mazagan had no separate Jewish mellah.

		While El Jedida (or Mazagan) did not exist in Leo's days, there was a small town a few kilometers South of Azemmour, close to El Jedida today.
		El Jedida [Mazagan] was re-conquered by the Moroccans at the end of the 18th century, after 300 years of Portuguese occupation.

		After the fall of Azemmour, Mazagan became the center of all Portuguese operations in the Atlantic- so precious was this base that they held on to it until the late 18th century, when it was re-conquered by the Moroccans.
