THE MOHAMMED-V SQUARE
Read moreThe square was the administrative heart of the French city during the protectorate period. In the centre of it once stood the equestrian statue of Marshal Lyautey. It was unrolled in 1956, on Independence Day, to be placed in front of the French consulate where it is still located today. Its administrative buildings in the neo-Moorish style combine all the elements of traditional Moroccan arts with the functional characteristics of European architecture: zellige, ironwork, marble... They give this square a beautiful architectural unity and frame a square where men rest and chat at any time of the day, in the shade of the ficus trees.
THE BIG POST OFFICE

Behind the marble counters, we will look at the beautiful yellow clock to the very Art Deco typography.

BOULAOUANE KASBAH

This kasbah dominates the valley and lies on the edge of the Umm er Rbia Oued. The view is splendid. The place is in ruins but one can still understand how the soldiers of this garrison lived. Frescos are still visible on the walls and a square tower rises in the middle. You can discover some rooms and perhaps the remains of a hammam.

THE HOTEL EXCELSIOR
Read moreIn this square, the Hotel Excelsior was a very good place to delimit the ancient city and the new French city. For sometimes three to four years they were waiting here to find out where to stay. At that time Casablanca was a European Eldorado where everything was possible. The excitement for this city was at its height and the real estate speculation was running full! The style of the building is typically Moorish, with its broken arches very close to the Algerian style and its white and yellow façade.
Just left, after the Excelsior, on Allal-Ben-Abdellah Street, is a building made by Marius Boyer. Its four towers had small studios for young households. A completely new type of housing in the 1930 s.

NOTRE-DAME-DE-LOURDES CHURCH OF CASABLANCA
Read moreThis large church built near the district of Habous dates back to 1953, three years before the independence of Morocco. In the 1950 s, the city had around 450 000 foreigners from the Christian faith. Today, African students studying in Morocco constitute the majority of the faithful. Throughout the imposing concrete nave, stained glass windows were made by the master verrier of Chartres, Gabriel Loire. The series opens on a scene of the Apocalypse of Saint John, and then declines the themes related to the cult of the Immaculate Conception. Originality lies in the mix of performances of biblical scenes and historical episodes: a thesis of a Franciscan at the Sorbonne about the Virgin Mary, victory of the naval battle of Léparte dedicated to the Virgin… A set of stained glass windows that is worth looking at for the liveliness of its colors and the originality of its iconography.
