Casablanca-Settat Essentials

Casablanca-Settat showcases a blend of architectural styles, from the 16th-century Portuguese fortifications of Mazagan to the 20th-century Art Deco buildings of the city center. The region is anchored by the Hassan II Mosque, one of the world’s largest, featuring a 210-meter minaret overlooking the Atlantic. Cultural landmarks include the Moorish-style Mahkamat al-Pasha courthouse and the modernist Zevaco Dome. Beyond urban Casablanca, the coast offers the blue-flagged Ain Diab Beach and the historic El Hank Lighthouse, while the Morocco Mall provides modern retail scale.
