Casablanca was established as a commercial centre by the French and the architecture here features a mixture of modern, art deco and the traditional design. The highlight is the Central Market building constructed in marble, stone and wood, with no fewer than sixty rooms. You will visit also the remarkable Mosque Hassan II, one of only two mosques in Morocco open to non-Islamic believers. Built by the late King Hassan II at the end of his 40-year reign, this astounding edifice is larger than Saint Peter’s in Rome and capable of holding 80,000 worshippers.
