Wilaya of Grande Casablanca Building
The Wilaya of Grande Casablanca Building (Hôtel de Ville / Préfecture) is the main administrative building and city hall for the Casablanca region. Designed by architect Marius Boyer and constructed between 1928 and 1936, it is a monumental structure central to the Place Mohammed V complex. The building is a prime example of the Neo-Moorish style, featuring a majestic clock tower and ornate decoration that reflects the colonial administration's architectural mandate. It was declared a National Material Patrimony site in 2003.
