Smaller and more low-key than Fes or Marrakech, Casablanca’s old medina sits behind crumbling Portuguese walls between the port and the modern city. Authentic, walkable, and a good antidote to the city’s glassy modernity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Place Mohammed V is Casablanca’s grand administrative square \u2014 fronted by the colonial-era courthouse, prefecture, post office, and a striking central fountain often lit at night. Designed by French architect Henri Prost in the 1920s, the square’s blend of Mauresque and Art Deco architecture defines downtown Casablanca’s distinctive skyline.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Equally popular as a shopping destination and a family day out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The disused Cath\u00e9drale Sacr\u00e9-Coeur is one of Casablanca’s most striking Art Deco landmarks \u2014 completed in 1930 by French architect Paul Tournon, with twin white concrete towers, Gothic-inspired vaulting, and stained-glass windows. No longer a working church, it now serves as a cultural and exhibition centre well worth visiting for its dramatic interior.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
