Experience the traces of Morocco’s colonial past right at its modern city of Casablanca.
From time immemorial, the famous Moroccan city of Casablanca has been thriving and bustling, so much so that it has inspired people from far and wide to experience and create something out of it, be it in the form of a film, poetry or even art. And in the heart of this busy city is the Casablanca Square, also known as the Square of Mohammed V. Built during the colonial period in the 1920s, the square houses many important administrative buildings including a courthouse, a post office, the bank of Morocco and the Consulate of France. These administrative buildings are all built in the style of the colonial era, giving them a rather charming, old world feel. When juxtaposed with the modern city that it is nestled in, the square is a contrasting display of various architectural styles that will no doubt take you back in time as you walk past buildings with classic architecture standing next to modern buildings made of glass and steel. If you love culture and architecture, and you plan on taking many beautiful photographs, then look no further than this square right here. Where old meets new, the Square of Mohammed V is a must-visit for those looking to see Morocco’s past mingle with its present.
