Architectural Landmarks

Casablanca-Settat showcases a diverse architectural timeline, from the traditional Moorish craftsmanship of Mahkamat al-Pasha and the Royal Palace to the 20th-century innovation of the Art Deco district. Highlights include the modernist Zevaco Dome, a retro-futuristic landmark from the 1970s, and the contemporary Casablanca Twin Center, which blends Moorish motifs with high-rise engineering. The region’s heritage is further preserved in sites like Villa des Arts, a 1934 villa turned museum, and the administrative grandeur of Muhammad V Square.
