About Casablanca
Morocco's economic capital
Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque is one of the largest in the world, with a minaret over 200m tall and a retractable roof over the prayer hall, built partly over the Atlantic Ocean.
The city's 1920s–30s French colonial architecture, a rare blend of Art Deco and Moorish design, still lines downtown boulevards around Place Mohammed V.
Though the film Casablanca was shot entirely in Hollywood, Rick's Café recreates its mood in the old medina — a fitting stop before the corniche's seafront restaurants and beach clubs.
