Msoura Stone Circle

Morocco

Msoura (also Mzoura, Mezora, Mçora, M'Zorah, M'Sora or Mzora) is an archaeological site of a stone circle in northern Morocco. It is located near Chouahed village, 15 kilometers southeast of Asilah, and consists of 167 monoliths surrounding a tumulus 58 m long, 54 m wide, with a height of 6 m. One of the monoliths, known as El Uted (the peg) measures more than 5 m, with the average height of the monoliths being 1.5 m. Legend claims it is the tomb of the giant Antaeus. Dated to the 4th or 3rd century BC, the site probably hints to the beginnings of the Kingdom of Mauretania. On 27 January 2025, the Moroccan Ministry of Culture added the site of Mzoura to the list of national heritage sites.
