The financial capital and an internationally
expanding metropolis, Casablanca owes its
name to the few white houses gent I y growing old along its ramparts. Completely rebuilt from 1920 onwards, it is nowa perfect example of successful colonial urban development.
The town centre, with its combination of art
deco and neo-Moorish styles, is a paean to
harmony and balance. From the enormous
Hassan II mosque to the Zevaco cupola, United
Nations Square, Morocco's most  contemporary
town integrates modernity and tradition in a way that it has made its own. Its architecture, opting for straight lines and restrained shapes, has given it a trendy, cosmopolitan aura, a city where fashions, ideas and new trends are constant I y emerging.
Attractive and so vital for the Kingdom,
Casablanca is a town that you very quickly
want to address by its nickname, Casa.
