Old wholesale market

The Old Wholesale Market (Ancien Marché de Gros) is a historical structure designed by architect Paul Perrot and completed in the 1930s. It served as the central municipal wholesale market for Casablanca, vital for the city's food distribution and economic infrastructure. Its architecture reflects the functionalist, open-span construction required for a large market hall of the era. The site is now closed or replaced by a newer facility, but remains a historical reference point for the city's early commercial development.
