Art Deco in Casablanca
From the 1910s to the 1950s, Casablanca became one of the capitals of Art Deco: the Prost plan laid out the new town, Boulevard Mohammed V filled with arcades and bas-reliefs, and the Habous reinvented the medina. The buildings, their architects, a walk and the history of the city, all in one place.
