Muhammad V Square

Muhammad V Square sits at the civic heart of Casablanca, where the city's French colonial and Moroccan architectural traditions meet in open, unhurried space.

A visit here is less about ticking off a sight and more about reading the city as it actually is — locals crossing the square on their way somewhere, the scale of the surrounding buildings giving a sense of how Casablanca once imagined itself. It rewards a slow walk and a moment of stillness before the day moves on.
