Ksar el-Kebir
Ksar el-Kebir lies on the Loukkos plain in northern Morocco, inland from the Atlantic port of Larache. Its fields and river valley connect the coast with the hills to the east. In 1578 a major battle was fought nearby between a Portuguese expedition led by King Sebastian and Saadian forces. Sebastian and two Moroccan claimants died in the fighting, remembered as the Battle of the Three Kings.
