The Twin Center towers express the modernity of Casablanca well.

Sacré-Cœur Cathedral

The French architect Paul Tournon, who also designed several churches in France, represents an interesting experiment in the decorative use of cast concrete, in Morocco with the Sacré-Cœur Cathedral in Casablanca.

This imposing cathedral is built in a neo-Gothic style with Art Deco and Moroccan Muslim influences.

The windows which pierce the upper parts of the cathedral are reminiscent of a decoration for mosques. The exterior buttresses along the roof feature sharp right angles instead of the usual curves.

Mohamed V Square

Its particularity lies in its modern architecture and its surprising monuments such as the statue of General Lyautey erected after the First World War.
