Morocco / Casablanca / The City

At 90 km to the south of Rabat, Casablanca is the economic capital of the country. Its name Casablanca : "white house" dates back to the 17th century, when the Portuguese rebuilt and fortified the city to make it a military front line.

Its vocation as an economic capital has been decided by the General Lyautey after the signature of the French Protectorate Treaty.
