Do not miss the great Hassan II Mosque which is the jewel of the city and the Place Mohammed V you will see the Wilaya of Casablanca and its campanile-inspired Tuscan and the courthouse Arab-Andalusian inspiration. 

Art lovers can admire architecture and many art deco facades along the Mohammed V Boulevard and 11 January and visit the Museum of the Villa des Arts Avenue. The city also has some famous art galleries, including the Actua Space, Venice Gallery and Frame Amphitrium. 

Finally, the Park of the Arab League and the corniche and beaches (Ain Diab) are of the sights for a bit of relaxation. 

The Hassan II Mosque, built between 1986 and 1993, is the pride of the people of Casablanca. 

Indeed, it is the third largest mosque in the world after Mecca and Medina, and has the largest minaret in the world, 200 meters high!
