Why Casablanca Is The Best Moroccan City For Architecture Fans

Located On The Atlantic Coast of Morocco, The Nation’s Most Populous City Is A Layer Cake of Soaring Mosques, Art Deco Cinemas And Technicolour Murals.

— By Amelia Dhuga | June 7, 2025

Casablanca is well versed in transformation. Anfa, the Amazigh settlement that once stood here, was obliterated by the Portuguese in 1468. When they returned to rebuild the town half a century later, they renamed it ‘Casa Branca’ (White House). An earthquake then levelled the region in 1755, prompting Moroccan ruler Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah to build the whitewashed Medina. Earning itself the local name Dar al-Baida — literally ‘House of the White’ — it came to be known as Casablanca among the Spanish, who added touches of their own, including the 19th-century Church of San Buenaventura. Art nouveau and neo-Moorish buildings were then erected by the French, who established Casablanca as a business hub after their arrival in 1907. It went on to become a French protectorate in 1912 and remained so until 1956, with Assunna Mosque and Rue d’Agadir Market — futuristic constructions designed by Franco-Moroccan architect Jean-François Zevaco — marking a new era of independence.

Visitors now flock to the city to explore its varied architecture. Neo-Moorish buildings merging Islamic and art deco elements can be found around Boulevard Rachidi, with highlights including La Poste Centrale, the Palais de Justice and L’Église du Sacré Coeur, an ivory-white cathedral built in 1930. Further east, a few historic art deco establishments have been transformed in the city’s Petit Paris district, including Cinema Rialto, which offers a window into the city’s fabled cinematic history. Guided tours of many of these sites can be organised through Casamémoire, a non-profit that’s been working to preserve the city’s 20th-century architecture since 1995.

The Quartier Habbous is equally charming. Constructed predominantly between the 1920s and ’30s to accommodate an influx of Moroccan merchants, the southern district has an artisanal edge, with plenty of craft and leather stalls. Keep an eye out for the ornate wooden doorway leading to Pâtisserie Bennis Habous, which serves almond-filled kaab el ghazal (gazelle horns) and other delectable Moroccan pastries.

Young locals tend to gather on the clipped lawns of Arab League Park and Anfa Park. The latter is often used to host Casablanca’s annual summer music festivals: Jazzablanca and Alif Festival both draw in large crowds, while L’Boulevard, held at the nearby Stade RUC, is well known for hosting artists from Morocco’s blossoming rap scene. Contemporary dance styles are also a big draw; onlookers often gather along the palm-shaded steps of the Villa des Arts gallery to watch breakdancers from the local BIM Breaking association. Casablanca’s creative spirit seeps into its street art, too, with avant-garde designs depicting extraterrestrial life forms lining the Corniche promenade. Nevada Skatepark, one of the biggest in Africa, also has a number of bold pieces, including A Glitch In The Skatepark by local artist Abidwane.

A little quieter than those of Fez or Marrakech, the medina’s snaking, cobbled streets are full of vendors serving fresh fish sandwiches and syrup-coated sweets stuffed with dates. Plastic tables and chairs fill the larger squares, where visitors while away the hours sipping coffee from miniature glass cups. Dar DaDa, a courtyard restaurant, offers more substantial meals, including hearty chicken tagine. Typical Moroccan dishes are also available from Saveurs du Palais, an intimate restaurant further west in the Maârif district, where guests settle on low cushioned seating to enjoy chicken pastilla and slow-cooked lamb tagine. If you’d like to learn how to make Moroccan dishes yourself, Taste of Casablanca hosts a tour of the city’s markets, where you’ll roam in search of ingredients for your guided cookery class.

Three highlights:

1. Hassan II Mosque

Opened in 1993, this mosque with a green minaret is one of the largest in Africa. Outside prayer hours, non-Muslims are able to admire the Moroccan craftsmanship on display. The pink granite comes from Agadir and the carved cedar wood from the Atlas Mountains.

2. Royal Mansour Casablanca Spa

You don’t have to have a room booked at Royal Mansour Casablanca to enjoy its spa. The hotel has its own traditional Moroccan hammam, a marble bathhouse where guests are scrubbed, washed and massaged into a state of bliss.

3. Cine-theatre Lutetia

First opened in 1953, Ciné-théâtre Lutetia hosted grand premieres and international film stars before falling into disrepair. Its original art deco features have since been restored, and it now runs an extensive programme of regional films.

Casablanca, a twentieth-century city, crossroads of influences

Casablanca. The name alone carries an air of cinematic romance, evoking black-and-white images of Humphrey Bogart, jazz-filled cafés, and whispered secrets over coffee. But beyond the Hollywood myth, Casablanca is a city of movement, of contrast, of stories etched in concrete and stone. It may not yet hold a UNESCO World Heritage title, but its history, architecture, and dynamic spirit have placed it firmly on the tentative list—a recognition of its cultural significance and evolving identity.

Unlike the medieval charm of Fez or Marrakech, Casablanca is unapologetically modern. The city pulses with an energy unlike anywhere else in Morocco. Its wide boulevards, bustling markets, and Art Deco facades tell the story of a city shaped by colonial ambition, global trade, and an ever-growing skyline. Now the economic heart of Morocco, Casablanca balances its past and future with effortless grace.

At the city’s core stands the Hassan II Mosque, a structure that defies the limits of architecture. Hovering over the Atlantic Ocean, its minaret—one of the tallest in the world—reaches for the sky. The intricate zellij tiles, delicate stucco work, and vast prayer hall showcase Morocco’s mastery of Islamic artistry. Yet, with laser-guided technology and a retractable roof, it is also a symbol of Morocco’s forward-looking vision.

But Casablanca’s soul isn’t found only in its grand monuments. Its Art Deco and Mauresque architecture, remnants of the French Protectorate era, make walking through the city feel like stepping into a forgotten era of elegance. Along Boulevard Mohammed V, you’ll find faded facades of once-glorious cinemas, cafés with wrought-iron balconies, and hotels that once welcomed travelers from across the world. This unique blend of Moroccan craftsmanship and European modernism is what earned Casablanca a place on UNESCO’s tentative list—a city where East meets West in concrete and mosaic.

And then, there’s the Corniche. The Atlantic waves crash against the shore as locals sip mint tea in beachfront cafés, joggers trace the promenade, and young Moroccans gather in trendy lounges. It’s a reminder that Casablanca is a city that never stops moving—a place that embraces both tradition and change.

Casablanca may not fit the romanticized image of Morocco that travelers often seek, but that’s precisely what makes it so compelling. It’s a city of ambition, a place where history and modernity intertwine, where old medinas exist beside soaring skyscrapers. Whether you come for the architecture, the ocean breeze, or just to feel the hum of urban Morocco, Casablanca is a place that stays with you long after you leave.

Casablanca, Morocco — January 2025. Spent the whole day on the waterfront starting with a tour of the spectacular Hassan II Mosque before strolling along the Corniche to Anfa Beach. Typically you don’t get to see inside a mosque unless you’re Muslim but this mosque, as the largest in Africa, is a showcase and all are welcome. Its carvings and tile work are beautiful but the show stopper for me was the baths. The Corniche waterfront area is definitely the posh area which is evident by the massive modern homes, fancy restaurants and shops. I got to explore the Carrefour Market and check out local products for sale. They make a chocolate spread Amlou that is reported to be better than Nutella. Can’t wait to try that. The beach here has chairs positioned about where couples and families can admire the sea. A local told us the sea is not really for swimming in Casablanca since it’s polluted from industry, etc. Only a few committed surfers braved the conditions.
