Casablanca

Art Deco neighbourhoods

From Boulevard Mohammed V to the villas of Anfa, each neighbourhood has its own character.

City centre / Bd Mohammed V

The historic centre of Art Deco Casablanca

Boulevard Mohammed V and the surrounding streets hold a dense ensemble of Art Deco buildings: continuous arcades, white facades punctuated by bow windows, bas-reliefs and finely worked ironwork.

Habous

The neo-Moorish new medina

Designed from 1918 by Albert Laprade, followed by Auguste Cadet and Edmond Brion, the Habous district reinterprets the traditional medina: arcaded lanes, planted squares, zellige and carved wood.

Anfa

1930s villas on the hill

On the heights of the city, Anfa brings together modernist and Art Deco villas from the 1930s set in wooded gardens, a few minutes from the corniche.

Bourgogne

Between the city centre and the ocean

A residential neighbourhood between the medina, the centre and the corniche, Bourgogne combines buildings from the 1930s to the 1950s with recent construction.

Belvédère

Little-known heritage east of the centre

Near the port and Casa-Voyageurs station, Belvédère keeps villas and period buildings that are often little known, many of them in need of renovation.
