Tourist Guide Casablanca
The financial capital and an internationally expanding metropolis, Casablanca
owes its name to the few white houses gently growing old along its ramparts.
Completely rebuilt from 1920 onwards, it is now a perfect example of successful
colonial urban development.
The town centre, with its combination of art deco and neo-Moorish styles, is
a paean to harmony and balance. From the enormous Hassan II mosque to the Zevaco
cupola, United Nations Square, Morocco’s most contemporary town integrates
modernity and tradition in a way that it has made its own. Its architecture,
opting for straight lines and restrained shapes, has given it a trendy, cosmopolitan
aura, a city where fashions, ideas and new trends are constantly emerging.
Attractive and so vital for the Kingdom, Casablanca is a town that you very
quickly want to address by its nickname, Casa.
