Liberty Building

The Liberty Building (Immeuble Liberté), also known as the '17-story building', is a defining modernist landmark of Casablanca, completed in 1950 and designed by architect Léonard Morandi. When it was built, it was reputed to be the highest building in Africa, a towering symbol of post-war architectural ambition and confidence in the French Protectorate. The building features commercial space and a large number of apartments, reflecting a monumental functionalist style. Its height and prominence cemented its status as one of Casablanca's most recognizable historical skyscrapers.
