Period 1918-1920
Overview At 8 Boulevard Hassan II, on Place Mohammed V, this building houses Casablanca’s central post office. It was built from 1918 to 1920 to designs by the architect Adrien Laforgue, modelled on the Grande Poste in Algiers, and was the first building completed on the former Place Administrative. Its Neo-Moorish façade combines an entrance portico, a frieze of green and blue zellige and a canopy of green tiles; inside, the public hall rises over two levels. Its façades were restored in 2004.
