Portuguese Cistern of El Jadida

Portuguese Cistern of El Jadida
El Jadida, Morocco (MA)
In the center of this space is a small overflowing pool that leaves much of the floor covered in a thin layer of water. Overhead is an oculus open to the sky. The combination of the floor water and the ceiling light creates beautiful and spooky reflections and shadow-play. The vaulted ceiling and rows of columns complete the effect of eeriness.
