The Caves Of Hercules In Morocco

The Caves of Hercules (Grottes d'Hercule) in Tangier (Tangiers), Morocco, Africa. The sea opening of the cave is known as 'The Map of Africa' as it is shaped like the of continent of Africa. The Caves of Hercules are an archaeological cave complex located in Cape Spartel, Morocco. Legend holds that the Roman God Hercules stayed and slept in this cave before doing his 11th labour, (one of the 12 labours which King Eurystheus of Tiryns had given to him) which was to get golden apples from the Hesperides Garden.
