Architect-Led Tour Reveals Casablanca’s Architectural Heritage


Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city, offers a striking blend of architectural traditions, where historic Mauresque buildings sit alongside elegant Art Deco landmarks and contemporary developments. An architect-led guided tour introduces visitors to the city’s rich urban landscape, highlighting how diverse design influences have shaped Casablanca into one of North Africa’s most distinctive metropolitan centres.


The journey begins at the historic Marché Central, designed by architect Pierre Bousquet and constructed between 1918 and 1919. From there, participants walk to the renowned Cinema Rialto, built in 1929 and celebrated as one of Casablanca’s finest Art Deco buildings. The route also includes Place des Nations Unies, a vibrant public square that serves as a transportation and commercial hub, featuring a tram station, hotels, shops and the iconic sculpture created by Jean-François Zevaco.


Continuing along Boulevard Félix Houphouët-Boigny, the tour reaches the modern Casa-Port Railway Station, completed in 2015 and serving as a key gateway connecting Casablanca with Tangier. Visitors then stop at La Sqala Café, a popular restaurant housed within a restored historic fortress, where old cannons, stone walls and an Andalusian-style garden provide a glimpse into the city’s military and cultural past.


The experience concludes at the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, inaugurated in 1993 and recognised as one of the world’s largest mosques. Dominated by its 210-metre minaret, the landmark showcases exceptional Moroccan craftsmanship through intricate mosaics, carved wood, marble and traditional Moorish design. The final stop offers visitors a fitting conclusion to a tour that celebrates Casablanca’s architectural evolution across more than a century.
