The administrative heart of French colonial Casablanca, this grand square is ringed by early 20th-century Mauresque-style government buildings and centered on a large fountain where flocks of pigeons gather.
Know before you go
- The fountain gets a light show some evenings — worth checking local listings if visiting after dark.
- The surrounding buildings, including the main post office and courthouse, are worth a look for their mix of Art Deco and Moroccan design.
- It's a short walk from the old medina, easy to combine both in one outing.
