Historic Gems

Casablanca’s urban landscape is a timeline of architectural evolution, from the 18th-century ramparts of the Old Medina to the 1970s retro-futurism of the Zevaco Dome. This collection highlights the intricate zellige tilework and cedar ceilings of Mahkamat al-Pasha alongside the ornate gates of the Royal Palace. The city’s French colonial legacy is visible in the Art Deco facades near Lalla Yacout Avenue and the administrative grandeur of Muhammad V Square, while the 51-meter El Hank Lighthouse represents Casablanca's early 20th-century maritime history.
