Quobba Building

The Quobba Building (Al Quobba, meaning 'dome' or pavilion) is a historical architectural structure designed by Pierre Gosset and constructed in 1915. It was originally part of the Moroccan-French Exposition held on the site of the future Marché Central. When the market construction began, the Quobba was carefully moved 'as is' and relocated to its current position in the Arab League Park. This Quobba, featuring Neo-Moorish architectural details, is now often used as a small Cultural Center or pavilion, standing as a unique relic of the city's early colonial exhibitions and urban planning changes.
