The former Cathedral of
Casablanca is not your usual temple. It was built in 1930 in some
neo-gothic-deco style that is not completely unpleasant for the eye
and reminds for some reason the pure white churches that you find in
some Greek islands. With the independence of Morocco in 1956 the
building ceased all religious functions and became a cultural center
where regular exhibitions are held in a space like no other. The
interior is neglected yet charming, worth a visit also because is
situated in the quiet Parque de la Ligue Arabe, which is also
neglected and derelict, but with some rebel trees that refuse to die.
Entrance is free.
Parque de la Ligue Arabe, Casablanca, Morocco
