Sacred Heart Cathedral

It was a bright sunny day so I went to see this stunning art deco building and it's Stained glass art works. When I stepped inside there was stillness, a timeless place, not solemn just peaceful. I walked around and ventured up the stairs but could not visit the balcony. The gardens surrounding the cathedral are beautiful and I was very happy to have visited this great historical building.

Quite a unique cathedral in design, with art deco vibe. Strangely empty and quiet. Worth a look. No need to pay for a city walking tour to see it though.

Stepping into Sacred Heart Cathedral felt like walking into a dream—calm, serene, and absolutely breathtaking! The mix of Art Deco and Neo-Gothic architecture had me feeling like I was in a movie scene, and the stained-glass windows? Absolutely mesmerizing. Of course, I had to bring my own flair to the moment—dressed in bold red and black, standing against the crisp white walls of the cathedral. A contrast fit for a masterpiece! Whether you're here for history, photography, or just to enjoy a peaceful escape in the city, this place is a must-visit. P.S. If you go, take a moment to just stand in the center, soak in the beauty, and maybe even strike a pose—because this backdrop deserves it! 10/10—Would definitely recommend!

A decommissioned cathedral that is very beautiful inside and out. Now a cultural centre, there was no exhibit on the day we visited. But the architecture was stunning. The stained glass altarpiece depicts Christ in colourful glory, and His Sacred Heart. Worth a visit and a stroll through the adjacent gardens.

Beautiful piece of architecture designed by Paul Tournon and finished in 1931. The impressive scale (and height), its vertical lines, the details, the gothic references, is an unexpected surprise. Its immaculate whiteness inside is only interrupted by the strained glass light, giving it a very airy and celestial ambience. Unfortunately, the church was desacralized in 1951, and was used as a cultural event venue since. Inside, there is a whole element that was clearly built afterwards. This could easily be used as an interpretative center of the building. Although devoid of a regular function, it is kept open. Beware that the building closed at 19h at the time I visited.

Historic cathedral in the city of Casablanca constructed in 1930 under the French Protectorate and designed by French Architect Paul Tournon. The building includes a mix of neo-Gothic and Art Deco styles and even includes Islamic inspired features such as minaret shaped towers. The building is no longer used for Christian worship however it can be visited freely by tourists and the building often hosts cultural events and exhibitions. There was a nice sense of space inside too with some high ceilings and a large stained glass window.

Beautiful inside and out. Interesting history of being converted from a Catholic Church to a general exhibit space. Easy to get to. Be sure to visit adjacent the Arab League Park. No cost.

I visited the cathedral at the end of January 2025. Beautiful from the outside, but it is not a place of Christian worship today, but a place of events and events. The cathedral ceased its religious function in 1956, after the independence of Morocco. When I was in Casablanca, the Chinese were preparing their party in the cathedral for the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Such a banquet party
