Justice Palace Building
The Justice Palace (Palais de Justice) is a monumental governmental building in Casablanca, designed by architect Joseph Marrast and constructed between 1920 and 1923. It is a prime example of the grand Neo-Moorish architectural style, which aimed to establish a sense of modern authority while respecting Moroccan traditions. The building is characterized by its large central courtyard and meticulously crafted traditional ornamentation. It continues to function as a Tribunal (Courthouse) and was declared a National Material Patrimony site in 2003.
