Mohammed V Square

A beautiful and symbolic heart of Casablanca. Mohammed V Square is surrounded by elegant buildings showcasing French colonial and Moorish architecture, giving the area a grand yet calm atmosphere. The white façades, arches, and palm-lined spaces feel especially striking under the Moroccan sun. It’s a great place to pause and observe daily city life—locals walking by, pigeons gathering, and the contrast between historic architecture and modern Casablanca unfolding around you. In the evening, the lights add a softer, more romantic mood, making it ideal for a slow stroll and photos. Not a place to rush through, but perfect for appreciating Casablanca’s history, urban rhythm, and architectural beauty. A quiet classic worth visiting while exploring the city center.

A beautiful square and a beautiful fountain. A nice place to see. Unfortunately, there are a lot of pigeons, which spoil and pollute the place a bit...

One of the most beautiful public space in Casablanca.... The view is heavenly... This square is a most visit 😍😍😍😍

All one can say about the square and the Hassan II Mosque is wow. The architecture and beauty is breathtaking. Well worth a visit when in Casablanca

In the heart of Casablanca this place feels alive, it feels like this place wants to tell you stories about all what she saw. I live 10 minutes away and every time I pass by I enjoy it like the first time. However people need to be careful about throwing trash everywhere and keep the place clean 🙏

Our next stop was at the French Administrative Quarter where you can find the Palace of Justice, French Consulate and the new location of the fountain because of the need to find space for the opera house across the road (built by Zaha Hadid). This fountain is also what attracts the pigeons over which is why this place is also known locally as the “Pigeon’s Square”...
