Old City (Casablanca)

7.1

4.7/5

43 reviews

Old City (Casablanca) is the original core of the city, rebuilt by Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah in the second half of the 18th century on the ruins of the old city. Unlike the old cities of Marrakech or Fes, this is not a tourist district, but a living, working market. The alleys are crowded with hardware stores, butcher stalls, shoe shops, and teahouses. Handcarts rattle on the cobblestones, the call to prayer from the minaret cuts through the market's bustle, and the salty sea breeze drifts in from the port from time to time. The iconic entrance to the Old City is Bab Marrakech, an arched gate built by the Sultan when he rebuilt the city after the earthquake, facing south and connecting to the old trade route to Marrakech. Passing through the gate, you enter the winding market alleys. Following the alleys toward the port, you reach the Sqala Fortress. This 18th-century coastal fortification still retains old-fashioned cannons facing the Atlantic Ocean. Climbing the walls offers a panoramic view of the stone walls, the sea, and the fishing port. At the junction of the old city and the French-style new city, the clock tower at United Nations Square marks the boundary between the two districts and is also a suitable starting point for a walking tour of the Old City.

Sacred Heart Cathedral

6.9

4.5/5

18 reviews

Sacred Heart Cathedral was designed by architect Paul Tournon and built in 1930. After Morocco gained independence in 1956, the building gradually ceased to serve its original religious purpose and was later converted into a cultural venue for exhibitions, performances, and other events. The building combines Art Deco and Neo-Gothic styles. Its white concrete façade features clean lines, while the two towering structures are particularly striking. Geometric patterns and window decorations incorporate elements of local architecture. The interior is spacious and lofty, with rows of columns supporting the nave. Colored glass filters natural light into soft patches of color, highlighting the building’s distinctive architectural character. Today, the building primarily serves as a cultural space, and its interior layout may change depending on the events being held. During a visit, visitors can admire the lofty vaults, columns, and stained glass, appreciating the distinctive blend of architectural styles.

Mohammed V Square

4.5/5

27 reviews

Mohammed V Square is located in the city center of Casablanca and is an important administrative hub of the city. Public buildings such as the courthouse, the central post office, the central bank building, and the Wilaya administrative building are located around the square. Most of them were built in the 1920s and 1930s, blending traditional Moorish decoration with Art Deco style. Arcades, white exterior walls, and colorful mosaic tiles on the facades form the square's unique architectural view. A large fountain is located in the center of the square, and flocks of pigeons often gather around it, which is why it is also known as "Pigeon Square." The Wilaya building on the south side was designed by architect Marius Boyer. Its inner courtyard features greenery and a fountain, the colonnades are decorated with tiles, and the towering clock tower is also quite distinctive. The square is close to the old town. It is suitable for admiring the architecture and fountain during the day, and after the lights come on at night, it presents a different view.

Habbous is a district in Casablanca with a traditional character, designed and built by planners during the French Protectorate era, combining modern urban planning with traditional Moroccan architectural styles. The district features arcades, horseshoe arches, carved wooden doors, and colorful tiles. The streets are neat and orderly, retaining the characteristics of a traditional old town while presenting a well-organized spatial layout. Highlights of the district include the Mosque Square, the Moulay Youssef Mosque, the Mohammedi Mosque, and the Mahkama of the Pasha. Traditional markets are also an important part of this area; the olive market sells various olives and pickled foods, old bookstores showcase Arabic-language books and manuscripts, and both sides of Ibn Khaldoun Street are lined with shops selling leather slippers, robes, copperware, and pottery, where you can see a variety of traditional handicrafts. Strolling through the district, you can admire the details of the buildings and arcades along the street, or browse the markets to experience local daily life. Traditional dessert shops and teahouses are also preserved here, adding to the district's authentic atmosphere. The overall architectural style and the markets blend together, showcasing the unique combination of traditional culture and urban planning in Casablanca.

Church of Notre Dame of Lourdes

5.4

4.0/5

24 reviews

Church of Notre Dame of Lourdes is a modernist Catholic church in Casablanca, designed by architect Achille Dangleterre and engineer Gaston Zimmer, and built in 1954. The building is primarily a concrete structure, with a massive arched concrete canopy extending above the entrance, topped with a cross, and its clean, sharp lines make it stand out among the surrounding buildings. A striking feature inside the church is the stained glass windows created by French stained glass artist Gabriel Loire. Large expanses of glass extend along both side walls, and sunlight streams through the glass into the nave, casting rich, layered colors onto the walls and floor, creating a sharp contrast with the simple concrete structure outside. Outside the church, there is a grotto modeled after the grotto in Lourdes, France, adding a serene atmosphere to the overall environment. When visiting, take note of the interplay between the building's geometric lines, concrete structure, and stained glass to experience the church's unique modern architectural style.
