   Hassan II Mosque

   Finished in 1993 on a platform half over the Atlantic, with a minaret of two hundred and ten metres — the tallest in the world — and room for twenty-five thousand inside and eighty thousand in the courtyard. Part of the floor is glass over the sea, the roof opens, and much of the cost was raised by public subscription.

   Museum of Moroccan Judaism

   The only museum of Judaism in the Arab world, opened in 1997 in a building put up as a Jewish orphanage in 1948. It covers a community that numbered a quarter of a million in Morocco before the emigrations of the 1950s and 60s and is now a few thousand.

   Al-Quds Mosque

   A mosque in the Roches Noires district of Casablanca that began as the neo-Gothic church of Sainte-Marguerite and was converted after independence. The pointed windows and buttresses are still legible under the minaret.

   Mohammadi Mosque

   A large mosque in the Habous quarter, built around 1935 under the patronage of Sultan Mohammed V, whose name it carries. It anchors the planned quarter the French laid out beside it and is one of the busier Friday mosques in the city.

   Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Church

   A modernist Catholic church of 1954, a plain concrete drum wrapped in stained glass by Gabriel Loire. There are some eight hundred square metres of it, and going inside is the whole point of the visit.

   Ould Al Hamra Mosque

   A mosque first raised in 1789 at the edge of Casablanca's old medina, where the market lanes meet the walls. It remains the main place of prayer for the old town.

   Temple Beth-El

   A synagogue of the 1920s in the Sidi Belyout district, the main one in a city that held the largest Jewish community in the Arab world before the 1950s. Its stained glass and painted plaster survive intact.

   Casablanca Clock Tower

   A clock tower on the wall of the old medina, rebuilt in 1993 as a copy of the one the French put up here in 1910. The original was the first public clock in Casablanca and is remembered as the instrument by which European time was imposed on the city.

   Qasr al-'Ashiq

   An Abbasid palace of the ninth century outside Samarra in Iraq, built on a brick platform above the Tigris floodplain. Its blind arcades of moulded brick are among the best-preserved caliphal architecture anywhere.

    Ettedgui Synagogue

    A late nineteenth-century synagogue inside the old medina, restored and rededicated by Mohammed VI in December 2016. Its reopening was made a public statement about Morocco's Jewish heritage, and the building holds a small exhibition alongside the prayer hall.

   Bousbir

   A walled quarter built in the 1920s under the French protectorate as a regulated brothel district, laid out by an architect in Moorish style and photographed as a tourist sight at the time. It is ordinary housing now.

   United Nations Square

   The square where the walled medina meets the city the French laid out beside it, so that two entirely different street patterns arrive at the same place. It has been remade several times and is the hinge of central Casablanca.

   Muhammad V Square

   The administrative square of the French protectorate, ringed by courts, a post office and a bank built in the Mauresque style that mixed art deco with Moroccan detail. A large fountain plays at its centre.

   Anfa

   The old name of the port that stood here before Casablanca, and now the hill district west of the centre. Roosevelt and Churchill met at a hotel here in January 1943 to settle Allied strategy, and gave the conference the city's name.

   Arab League Park of Casablanca

   Thirty acres of palm alleys in the middle of Casablanca, laid out under the French protectorate west of Hassan II Boulevard and beside the white Church of the Sacred Heart. A renovation begun in March 2016 kept the gates shut for years past the promised reopening.

   Habous

   The new medina, laid out from 1916 by French planners who built an old city from scratch — narrow lanes, arcaded market squares and a mosque — because the real one was too crowded to expand. The olive and pastry shops in it are the best in Casablanca.

   Carrières Centrales

   Housing estates built in the 1950s by architects working for the protectorate, who studied how Moroccan families actually lived and designed courtyard flats stacked into slabs. The results were shown to Europe as a model and are still lived in.

   Ain Diab

   The corniche district on the western shore, where the city swims, eats and walks in the evening. Beach clubs and restaurants run along the Atlantic for a couple of kilometres, with the Hassan II mosque closing the view at the eastern end.

   Abderrahman Slaoui Museum

   An art deco villa holding the collection of Abderrahman Slaoui, who dealt in Moroccan glass jewellery, orientalist travel posters, Fassi ceramics and calligraphy. It is small, privately run, and the only museum in the city with any charm.

    Equestrian statue of Hubert Lyautey

    An equestrian statue of the first French resident-general, who designed the protectorate's policy of building new cities beside old ones. It was removed from the main square after independence and now stands in the grounds of the French consulate.
