Zidul cetăţii.

Oraşul vechi şi moscheea lui.
Bazarul arăta şi mirosea îngrozitor.Am făcut un pas înainte şi stânga-mprejur.

Casablanca 3




'Place Mohammed V is the grand centrepiece of the French regeneration scheme. The vast square is surrounded by an impressive array of august administrative buildings, mostly designed by Henri Prost and Robert Marrast. The ancienne préfecture (old police headquarters), dating from 1930, dominates the south side of the square and is topped by a modernist clock tower.

The nearby Palais de Justice (law courts) was built in 1925. The huge main door and entrance was inspired by the Persian iwan, a vaulted hall that usually opens into the central court of the medersa (theological college) of a mosque. Stroll across the grand square and admire the 1918 main post office, a wonderful building fronted by arches and stone columns and decorated with bold mosaics. More in the style of traditional Moroccan architecture is the Banque al-Maghrib, on Blvd de Paris. Fronted with decorative stonework, it was the last building constructed on the square.'
