Art Deco Downtown & Boulevard Mohammed V
Boulevard Mohammed V
A corridor of Art Deco buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, where facades such as the Lincoln Hotel and the Rialto Cinema earn Casablanca the nickname 'Art Deco capital'.
Casablanca was built up on a massive scale during the French protectorate period, leaving behind an astonishing number of Art Deco and neo-Moorish buildings. They are concentrated along Boulevard Mohammed V and Idriss Lamrani Avenue. Highlights include the Lincoln Hotel, the Rialto Cinema, Villa Kalama, and the arcades around the Central Market.
Some buildings are showing their age. To learn more, you can join a walking tour run by the Casamémoire association.
Tram T1 runs along the boulevard, and you can start walking from the square.
