Places to See in Casablanca

Medina, the old city of Casablanca, offers an authentic spirit, you can sometimes feel lost while wandering through the labyrinth-like streets. But Medina is a bazaar of serious size and confusion. In these bazaars, many artisans, including butchers, bakers and candle makers, sell their products to locals and tourists.

Medina, seen as the place where the heart of Casablanca beats, is the place where you can best observe the local people and shop at the same time.

Casablanca Cathedral

This is a cathedral where you can see the features of Moroccan and European architecture in the same building. It was built in the 1930s. The building has been left to its fate in the last few decades and needs to undergo a serious restoration process. Currently, it is not a place of worship. In the immediate vicinity of the cathedral, there is Notre Dome de Lourdes Cathedral.

La Corniche

La Corniche means a cordon. Places where you can chat on the coastline, relax in cafes, play football on the beach, and gather around the clock, especially near sunset. An area with ocean views. There are few places to visit in Casablanca, but it is still beautiful here.

Hassan II Mosque

Hasan II Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world, where 100,000 people can pray at the same time. The mosque, which is visible from the whole city with its minaret, which is 210 meters high, offers an incredible visual feast, especially at sunset. The architect of the mosque, which was completed in 1993 and was built in 5 years with 30,000 people, is French, as you would not be surprised.
