Casablanca’s Architecture – Where Tradition Meets Modern Grace 🏛️🌆

#hellohalloween Casablanca is a city that tells its story through walls, arches, and rooftops. Walking through its streets feels like flipping through an architectural diary — from Moorish-inspired designs to sleek Art Deco façades and modern glass towers. In the Habous Quarter, delicate arches, tiled courtyards, and carved wooden doors reflect Morocco’s Islamic heritage. Then just a short walk away, the Boulevard Mohammed V area reveals the city’s colonial past — geometric balconies, ornate stucco, and French Art Deco elegance blending effortlessly with Moroccan motifs. 🌀 And of course, the Hassan II Mosque rises as Casablanca’s crown jewel — its minaret touching the sky above the Atlantic, a perfect symbol of craftsmanship and devotion. 📍 Where to explore: Habous Quarter, Boulevard Mohammed V, Hassan II Mosque 🚆 Getting there: Tram line T1 connects most architectural highlights 🕰️ Best time: Late afternoon or early evening, when the light softens on the white façades ✨ Casablanca’s architecture is more than just buildings — it’s a conversation between eras, cultures, and dreams.
