Casablanca-Settat Highlights

Casablanca-Settat showcases a diverse architectural timeline, ranging from the traditional Moorish and Andalusian craftsmanship of the Mahkamat al-Pasha administrative complex to the 20th-century Art Deco elegance of Villa des Arts. The region’s urban landscape is defined by the historic Muhammad V Square and the retro-futuristic concrete Zevaco Dome, a landmark of 1970s modernist design. Along the coast, the 51-meter El Hank Lighthouse, operational since 1920, provides panoramic views and insight into Morocco’s maritime heritage.
