Central Post Building

The Central Post Building (La Poste Centrale) in Casablanca is a grand historical structure designed by architect Adrien Laforgue and constructed between 1918 and 1920. It is an exemplary piece of early colonial public architecture, designed in the majestic Neo-Moorish or Mauresque style, as dictated by Resident-General Lyautey's urban vision. This style blends traditional Moroccan forms with modern construction techniques, establishing a monumental civic identity for the new city. It remains the city's main post office and was declared a National Material Patrimony site in 2003.
