Overview

On Rue de Blida, the Russian Orthodox Church of the Dormition was built in 1958 by Casablanca’s community of Russian émigrés, in the style of the churches of their homeland. It is one of the two Russian Orthodox places of worship in Morocco. Threatened with destruction in 2012, it rallied Casamémoire and the faithful; services are still held there.
