A voyage across the country in search of the riches of Moroccan heritage.

The mark of the 20th century on Casablanca

Casablanca, on the Atlantic coast, is a shopwindow for the best architecture of the 1920's. Many Art-Deco buildings are located on Mohammed V boulevard and in the old Mers Sultan European quarter. However, and with striking contrast, Casablanca has remained at the cutting edge of modern architecture with, in particular, the Twin center, which houses offices and a shopping centre that is several storeys high.

 Hispano-Mauresque style in Tetouan

On the Mediterranean coast, in the heart of Tetouan's medina, discover the multi-storey buildings of the El Ensanche colonial quarter. The medina is full of these houses decorated with European style wrought iron. In fact, the same characteristics can be found inland in Chefchaouen.
